Hi folks,

        Normally I wouldn't be sending this out, but I figure folks need
to be aware and wary, considering the origin of this intrusion attempt.

        I received an early Xmas present from Microsoft.  No, I didn't get
XP, nor did I get the latest Office software suite.

        I got a Nimda intrusion attempt.

        Early Bird[1] picked up on this intrusion attempt and immediately
notified Microsoft.  I've yet to hear back from Microsoft as to why this
attack from their network came to pass[2].

        For those who are interested, here's the log excerpt.
