| Me Got it I got it first a few days ago, and then today it was a constant flood of them causing my computer to shut itself down constantely. Here's the thread I started early today:
»[2K3] Windows Keeps shutting itself Down!!!
I installed the patch supplied by microsoft, and that seems to have worked just fine. I just can't imagine what kind of impact this has on 2k3 servers on some buisness machines...the kind that never shut down, will now be constantely shutting themselves down unless patched. I did log some activity once I started up Zone Alarm, all the connect attempts on port 135 were from my local ISP, so I'm guessing the code in the worm is set to start a port scan orginating from it's public ip, and scan from there. This is a widespread worm as I logged 20 different connect attempts from 20 different clients on my ISP's network (as well as 2 from another SBC network) We'll see the real effects in a few days.

They, and their connected clients, should be inside of a good hardware firewall perimiter - if not, they shortsightedly set themselves up for just this sort of problem. Servers that for some reason have to have a network connection direct to the outside or have ports like that forwarded through the firewall, need to have arrangements in place for constant monitoring and maintenance. Any business that has to run servers has to set up and maintain them properly and safely, just like any other piece of equipment. You can make an argument about whether home users should have a hardware firewall with a broadband connection, but not a business running servers. | |
