I like the way The Register reported on this:
"In the usually cautious, diplomatic language of analyst reports,
weighted as they are with percentage probabilities, this is as blunt as
they come: a kind of "flee now - and don't wait around to collect your
possessions" warning."

At my university, I have been culling hits on Xitami by CodeRed and
Nimda that come from machines in our IP block, and reporting them to IS,
so they can fix the MS IIS holes.
