I don't think that's true. He could have been a victim of other people
running Windows SQL Server 2000. From what I understand about the worm, it
not only repicated itself to other unpatched systems, but it send gazillions
of packets to random IP addresses to port 1434. Many ISPs and companies were
affected by it, not just the dumb butts who don't patch their systems.

Here, we didn't seem to be affected by it, though. Maybe because I didn't
check until Saturday afternoon? But no complaints came in.

Are others willing to share their experiences? It could be a good learning
opportunity.

Anyone have a link to a good technical document about the worm?

Thanks,

Priscilla
