is it just me, or has anyone else noticed an increase in nimda traffic today? in comparison to the past week or two, i'm getting hit pretty hard. or maybe you know if there is some kind of second phase to the worm...?

October 16 is the day that one of the recent viruses was set to fire itself up again. Can't remember which one offhand, though.

We had a nimda strike yesterday... from a PC that had been infected nearly a month ago. Hrm.

Interesting. I wonder if that had anything to do with the painfully slow cross-pacific link last night (my time). Really spiky and odd.
