Slammer Virus

Anyone been affected?

[Liane]

A friends' site was down all day yesterday which was hosted with a large and well known host beginning with a "V". I was amazed at the number of sites I was unable to reach yesterday. Anyone here have the same experience?

They are back up and running again ... but just wondering to what extent folks here were affected?

See the story here [thestar.com.my ].

Pretty much covers all of it, and there have been some reports by different members who got affected.

yeh got me most of the day on saturday. my hosts own website was down so they must have been hit.

been ok since then though.

Two of my clients on "V" had major problems, even rolling through yesterday afternoon. I talked to their techs and they said it was just router overwhelm, no invasions or losses.

Funny how some smaller hosts seemed able to stay online and available through it all. It sure was a storm, wasn't it?

I got hit hard. there were about 10 MS boxes on our network and only one of them had installed the patch.

According to this story [ad.au.doubleclick.net], an undisclosed number M$ servers were infected. Reportedly, some SysOps failed to install the released security patch.

Yep, we just fixed a PC using some bookkeeping software with sql stuff.
Jammed our network once it started.

That's funny .. I did a site search before posting this message and was surprised that nothing came up under "slammer virus".

Sorry for the redundant post. I hadn't seen the original one.
