Scared ?

Well, the dang MSBlaster worm wuz a stupid worm for sure. It attacked www.windowsupdate.com, which wasn’t ever used anywayz (it has always been (v4.)windowsupdate.microsoft.com). It did lead to a few strange jumps for microsoft though. Jumping from platform and hosting firm a few times the past few days. From the *.microsoft.com site went from Windows 2003 Server to Linux (strangely, still operating IIS6) hosted by long time ally Akamai Technologies. The last jump is only a few hours later, to the fiber rich above.net, also a Linux favorer.
A quick look shows they’re having a pool of at least 16 IP addresses, with probably even more bandwidth and machines hanging behind each IP, which means next worm must work a lot faster and smarter if it wants to make even a small dent {:)
