The monitors at www.dshield.org *are* showing a slight rise in port 445 and 135
events, and there's been a lot of chatter about widespread exploits.  On the
other hand, I've not seen any firm evidence it's made the jump from "scanner/
exploit tool" to worm - there's certainly no CodeRed-sized spike in the
monitors (*YET* - if the worm has a slow first-phase deployment, things could
get interesting later this week)..
