E-Secure-IT's first decision to put out a Red Alert on port 1434 was on Saturday, January 25, 2003 10:19:12 PM New Zealand Daylight Time This red alert was based on a number of conversations at the Nanog list. We started to monitor the actual effect some three hours before on our networks, around 19:00 New Zealand time New Zealand is 12 hours ahead of GMT, so subtract some 18 hours for USA.

Wow, Symantec is making an amazing claim. They were able to detect the slammer worm "hours" before. Did anyone receive early alerts from Symantec about the SQL slammer worm hours earlier?
The first I heard of SQ_Hell (The first name given it by Geoff Shively of http://www.pivx.com) was dated Jan 25 2003 7:11AM here: http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/308306/2003-01-24/2003-01-30/2 I don't use symantec products so I wouldn't have gotten any notice from them. Someone else will have to verify that their notices went out before Michael Bacarella's post. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
