Clues, they sell them you know?

You can only be affected by this worm if you're running IIS. Which I highly doubt 99% of the people here are doing.

No, but lots of my work shit is running on it unfortunately.

Well, with any luck it's a useless hunk of self-replicating code.

I have yet to see the code myself, but I don't think it's something to fret over, so long as you patch up.

I wonder if slamming a load balancer (like from coyote point) with a quick instruction set to dump the suspect IPs to /dev/null or something would help...
