I know of banks in the city of London which were brought down as they didn't
have the security patch issued in July! Not very good security at all!

Question:  Do a lot of people run a SQL server that is not behind a =
firewall?

(I guess if this virus/worm is/was propagating so quickly the answer is =
yes.)

My point is I think it is absurd to expose any server to the Internet =
without it being behind some kind of firewall.

Am I missing something?

If your machine is running SQl,  is not patched with the MS patch or SQL =
SP3
and you have ports 1433/1434 open to the internet or no firewall =
blocking
those ports you are most likely affected.
