The SANS weekly this week: --6 May 2002 Code Red is Still Out There Code Red version 2 is still worming its way across the Internet; more than 18,000 systems are apparently infected. Compromised machines could be used to launch a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-899489.html --29 April 2002 Nimda Downs Hitachi Site A web server hosting a newly designed site for Hitachi's software security company was infected with the Nimda worm soon after the site came on line. The server's Internet Information Server (IIS) software was unpatched. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/176217.html Perhaps the real worm here is mere cluelessness. Thanks, Ron DuFresne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.
