It's
looking like we're got the first big worm outbreak of the year. What makes this
one more worrying is that where as Sasser took about two weeks to surface after
Microsoft issued the patch for the flaw it exploited this one was done in days.
In all
probability this isn’t going to be as big as Sasser – only Windows 2000 users
are really in trouble. But the speed at which these evil little malcontents are
reverse engineering patches is truly worrying.
