With due respect tothe ABC, they have made great pains to point
out the worm only attacks Micorsoft servers. They did make some
mention of IIS.
I am off sick today and lust finished listening to Dr Karl who gave a
very good description of the worm. He lso mentioned the specific
requirement for the wrom to propagate was a MS platform running IIS.
He also mentioned MS products are very poorly made to begin with.
In fact he was almost quite angry about it!
