    Greeting All,
    	    Again my apologies to those of you who receive two copies of this
    note I am posting it to both unsog and incidents since a fair number of
    educational sites are involved. This posting may also be related to an
    ongoing discussion on the unsog list of compromised W2K boxes.
    
    At around 0545 on the 8th Aug (UTC) we got hit by a distributed scan
    from 100 machines scattered around the world.  Most of the addresses are
    owned by large IPS and domain names indicate that they are cable or xdsl
    customers. A significant minority of the addresses belonged to
    educational institions (one Taiwanese institution was very well
    represented :( ).  I have notified all the edu sites that I can identify
    and will work through the ISPs later today.
    
    For the record it took them 6 minutes to scan our entire /16 address
    space.
    
    here is a cut and paste from my index of scans, the time at the start is
    just to 1 hour resolution.
