Well, friends, it has happened in a big way. Code Red. We are seeing tens of thousands of Code Red attacks on large networks. Even networks as small as 6 nodes are detecting hundreds of attacks. Every network on which we are running detection is seeing at least 10 attacks per IP. Not bad for a worm that attacks by using a random number generator to pick its targets. As the night has progressed the attacks on our networks have seemed to ease off. We'll see what the morning brings, but I am quite honestly expecting to see the number reach a half million infected servers.
