We made an error in our last analysis and said the worm would start attacking whitehouse.gov based on a certain time. In reality its based on a date (the 20th UTC) which is tomorrow.
If the worm isnt hardwired to attack 198.137.240.91 and 198.137.240.92, its too bad the folks at www.whitehouse.gov probably arent willing to change their IN A records to 127.0.0.1 for a few days. -- Matt Sommer [MMS26], CISSP
