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
:-)
