That could theoretically be the problem, but it is known that some posts

No the problem is not you.  You may have missed it since you run Linux,
but there is a war going on right now with M$ machines and the Sobig
worm.  (snicker)

So because of all the POS M$ shit on the web, the traffic is clogged
right now like you wouldn't believe.  Trunklines are pretty much getting
slammed.  Not only that, but brace yourselves because there is a major
assault planned for this very night.  19:00 hours UTC, I believe.  Or
12:00 PST.

Um, to wit:  :)



From: WatchGuard LiveSecurity 

An Update on Sobig.F
Mystery Attack Scheduled for Today
Toothless Worm Had Hidden Fangs
August 22 2003


Virus Update
On August 19, we alerted you to the Sobig.F worm that was filling its
victims Inbox with avalanches of junk mail. Since then, startling new
facts have emerged showing that Sobig is potentially far more
destructive than first imagined. 

Today, anti-virus vendor F-Secure has alerted the world to hidden attack
instructions lurking within Sobig.F's code. The worm's author encrypted
these attack instructions, which F-secure successfully decrypted just
last night. We now understand more of Sobig.F's attack sequence, and
it's like something straight out of a sci-fi thriller novel.

Sobig.F contains a list of 20 IP addresses which belong to different
personal computers around the world, all apparently having broadband
connections. Sobig.F infected machines have silently synchronized their
clocks with the atomic clock (also known as the Universal Time Clock, or
UTC). In a massive synchronized attack scheduled for today at 19:00:00
UTC (12:00 PST), the hundreds of thousands of Sobig.F infected machines
around the world will authenticate to the 20 IP addresses hidden in the
worm's code, download, and execute an unknown mystery program. 

Given that Sobig's author has carefully issued, improved, and re-issued
the worm six times since January, we take that to mean the mystery
program will be more deadly than typical script-kiddie fare. However,
note that that is our speculation; it is possible that the code could
turn out to be a mild prank that simply displays some ego-driven, hacker
message on an infected machine's screen. However, when it comes to your
network, we figure better safe than sorry, so we're treating the
attack seriously.

Anti-virus researchers cannot learn what the malicious code will do
because it has not been placed on the 20 servers yet for download. They
assume the author will upload the code seconds before the massive attack
is scheduled to start. 

As we wrote this, Reuters reported that law enforcement authorities have
shut down 12 of the 20 IP address from which Sobig.F will download its
attack. However, because the 20 addresses are scattered around the
world, it's unlikely that all will be caught before this attack takes
place. Some version of Sobig.F's mystery attack will occur.


What Your WatchGuard Firewall Can Do
If you haven't already done so, we highly recommend you update all your
computer's anti-virus signatures. If you have any Sobig.F infected
machines, take them offline immediately and clean before putting them
back online. 

Firebox owners should continue blocking .SCR and .PIF files using their
SMTP proxy. Click here for more details on blocking attachments with
your SMTP proxy.

Sobig.F uses port UDP/8998 to access the 20 IP addresses. It also causes
infected machines to listen on ports 995 through 999. Firebox users can
create a custom service to block these ports (incoming and outgoing) so
that if there are any infected machines on your network, they cannot
access the mystery code.
