My personal (Apache) web server has taken 12 hits from this worm. The total
Code Red hits measured somewhere in the twenties. I'm not sure what's so
different about my web server that it's not garnering thousands of hits,
tho. It's a Solaris 8 box, no packet filtering or firewall rules that would
prevent this.
