I've yet to hear from the NIPC. Not a problem. I am probably not the only person to report the worm. They are probably busy with their own analysis. But it is surprising that they have yet to put out an alert.
This comes as no surprise at all, especially considering that one NIPC agent was single-handedly responsible for spewing a sizeable chunk of data when his system was hit by Sircam. Normally I would say that NIPC is a has-been...but that's impossible since it never amounted to anything in the first place. As an aside, I too am seeing a large upswing in CR probes; many of which are repeated by the same IPs. Additionally, CRv2 is now outnumbering CRv1 probes by 2:1.
