-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi folks,

We were discussing on the Early Bird Developers list that none of
us have seen any Code Red scans since September 30th.  This can only mean
one of four things:

1. Code Red has "gone to sleep,"

2. Code Red committed ritual seppuku and rm'd every box it
previously infected,

3. Nimda has taken over all previously infected Code Red
systems[*],

4. All the automated intrusion attempt notices finally paid
off and affected sites have finally shut their infected
systems down.

While I'd like to believe that the silence is due to option #4,
experience leads me to believe that options #1 and #2 are most likely, and
option #3 is a close runner-up.
