Servers are going down!!!

A new worm, being called w32.nimda.amm, is being sent around via email. The attachment is called README.EXE and comes as a MIME-type of "audio/x-wav" together with some html parts. There appears to be no text in this message when it is displayed by Outlook when in Auto-Preview mode (always a good indication there's something not quite right with an email.) DO NOT CLICK ON IT TO OPEN!! Simply delete the email.

This Denial of Service Attack is propogating across the entire Internet at breakneck speed. It is affecting most ALL Internet connectivity providers due to the voluminous requests being reflected across various networks. Therefore routers and switches are being stressed, thus causing major network delays across all networks.

Check out how bad it is right now by visiting http://www.internettrafficreport.com
