A couple of months ago I turned Apache on just for the fun of it. In
29 (unadvertised, content free) hours, I racked up 1,880 Nimda
queries (does WinNT wanna come out & play?) and 16 other worm / virus
queries. ALL but one were for MSFT. Someone, somewhere had entered a
compromised bind server into the fray but it absolutely couldn't keep
up with the Nimda machines.
Has anyone ever calculated the economic effect of just the internet
latency induced by these attacks?
