    Hrmm.. Need to know a few things first tho.. 
    
    1. Is everything up-to-date on the current patches
    2. What services are you running on IIS (FTP, etc..) or on the server for
    that matter (Finger,Time, etc.)
    3. Do you have any blank passwords in SQL Svr 7.. is SQL open to the outside
    world?
    4. Any fun-loving shares open to the world? is the admin password blank?
    
    I almost wanna say some warez kiddie is using your site as a public ftp for
    uploading files to your system.. mabey your ftp has anonymous enabled. If
    thats so, then your prolly being used as a warez site. 
    
    Ofcourse I could totally be wrong.. (happends once every 1500 years or so ;)

    Got a wierd one here.
    
    Win2k server, SP2
    IIS 5.0
    SQL server 7
    ipswitch imail 6.x
    
    Its definitely been broken into. PC-cillian bas picked up a few nimda
    files, and there is a directory c:\tAGGEd with various subdirectories
    under it, and an unopenable file C:\TaGGed By Ca$e.
    
    I'm working on getting a disk image up for perusal, but that might take a
    few days.
    
    Anybody seen this yet? Searching securityfocus, McAfee, Google, and a few
    other places has come up dry.
