For those that are using Apache on Linux, and had not heard yet, you are now
special enough to have joined us IIS users as targets for a Worm that uses a
known exploit. Estimates are as high as 17,000 infected machines. And the
real nice part is that it creates a peer-to-peer network that can be
controlled by anyone of the infected machines. Makes for a nice DoS attack
infrastructure as the reports above indicate.

It is funny though, this is getting only a small amount of press, wonder why
:-)
