I know that some on the list are running servers. I have posted this to
alert you to the Code Red Worm.

Code Red, an internet worm is currently propagating among Microsoft IIS web
servers.
The worm takes advantage of a known vulnerability in these systems to spread
itself to other vulnerable servers, with the apparent goal of launching a
denial of service attack against the White House website. IIS users are urged
to apply the patch from Microsoft as soon as possible.
