number,numbers are useless unless attached to my paperwork.

Subject: [iwar] Why do you track Code Red attempts?


A serious question -- why do so many people track the Code Red attempts on
their servers?  Do they merely succumb to morbid curiosity?  Do they hope to
save the Internet by tracking down the owner of every compromised machine?
Did they not receive any Melissa/ILoveYou/Kournikova emails and now they
just want to feel like they're part of the crowd?  Do they want to prove
they know enough to calculate a (useless) personal number?  What gives?

Again, I ask this question in all seriousness.
