The Internet provider my organization uses as its link for a VPN actually
shut down ICMP altogether due to it.  Managed to flood their network so bad
it made things seem like the 14.4kbps days...  This was about 2 weeks back,
any time they turn it back on the same thing happens.  Probably due to all
the lusers who never patch their PC's or spend $50 on a virus scanner.

But yea, I've seen it too.

Subject: [IMail Forum] WAY OT: Unusual Traffic Patterns

Has anyone been seeing an increase in Blaster/Nachi type traffic on your
firewalls in the past week?  All of a sudden starting early last week all of
my firewalls (40 locations) are showing massive amounts of traffic (double
what it was when Blaster first came out) to ports 135 and 445. They are all
being blocked but I'm just curious if anyone else is seeing this.
