Code Red
They informed me that this is the first client/server virus and it has been upgraded to code yellow (very destructive). Code Red 1 opened up a hole on servers running Windows NT and Windows 2000. Code Red 2 took advantage of those hole and infitrated the servers. It pings and pings and pings servers slowing down the internet. It has the potential of shutting down the backbones.
Symantec's www.sarc.com page has upgraded it to code (4) with stats of running wild, damage- medium and distribution-high.
The worm propagates by installing itself into a random Web server using a known buffer overflow exploit, contained in the file Idq.dll. Only systems that have not been patched with the latest Microsoft IIS service packs can be affected.
We do NOT think this has been over hyped, in fact quite the opposite. So bravo for the reporters who DID actively report this virus.
