Ive noticed a huge jump in connection attempts - approximately 10 fold also. This is going to become the scurge of the internet isnt it? For as long as people run insecure IIS servers this is going to continue to be a problem ... *sigh* (for as long as people code buggy software? release it on the commercial market?) Not to start a debate about these things, but at the moment all people are doing is reacting.. My questions 1) How come this happened? Wheres the QC? 2) How are we going to stop this pulling the internet to its knees? It may not be as bad as the media hyped but its increasing network traffic across the board which cant be healthy.

We have noticed a large increase (10 fold) in CodeRed activity since bang on midnight last night.
The probe rate seems to have now leveled off at one probe per IP address every three minutes.
This activity was actually noticed from monitoring of broadcast traffic on an ethernet LAN (TCP SYN to Black hole LAN IP address).
If WorldNet are listening, these two systems are hitting us regularly
