I have see like dozen attempts on myself already. I don't run windows and I 
don't have httpd of any type running. So it's not restricted to web servers. 
it's justa random porbe of any sites. I mean not everyone's got a www in 
front of their host name.

Another though. Seeing the number of hits I have been getting and i am 
talking about a @home cable firewall and a work machine connected to DSL 
without a proper DNS name. I think we could be in for a slow internet 
tommorrow if all these machines don't get cleaned up and all of them start 
DOSing whitehouse.gov from all over the world.

Cheers

Has anyone else noticed that it is only hitting www. servers? or am I
just lucky? I am getting many many attempts but ONLY on my
www.<whatever> servers I DO have servers with port 80 open to the
outside world that ARE NOT getting hit. from everything I have read on
this worm it is picking its IP's at random and if that is the case then
I should have been hit on something OTHER then these (few) www.
servers..

(or am I missing something?)
