Some 120,000 computer servers had been corrupted by the worm, the vast majority of then in the United States, according to Internet Security Systems, an Atlanta-based company that tracks the spread of computer viruses. One casualty was the Pentagon's computer network. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/022817.htm http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-201-6741564-0.html DOD shuts out worm, public http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2001/0730/web-dodred-08-02-01.asp Singing the blues over Code Red http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/specialreport/0,12737,6020700,00.html Code Red hits some Internet servers, threat remains http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1381751l.htm Code Red threat tailing off http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1469000/1469971.stm 'Code Red' worm 'minimized' -- for now http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/internet/08/02/code.red.worm/index.html Code Red Infections Down To A Few Thousand An Hour http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/168632.html Net security fends off worm attack http://www0.mercurycenter.com/premium/business/docs/codered02.htm Companies 'not liable' for Code Red attacks Legal experts say that businesses will not be liable if their servers become infected by the Code Red worm and inadvertently attack other corporate servers.

Code Red infected as many as 359,000 systems in about six days--one of the fastest-spreading worms ever. Despite a large government alert, press conferences and a massive scramble to install patches across Microsoft systems, the worm was still able to relaunch itself within tens of thousands of additional machines when it reappeared on July 31. Code Red is not a revolutionary technique in hacking--it's just the most recent and widely publicized security threat to take advantage of a software flaw to damage the Internet infrastructure. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1276-210-6745298-1.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
