Internet traffic hit by electronic attack
Traffic on many parts of the Internet slowed dramatically early Saturday, the apparent effects of a fast-spreading, virus-like infection overwhelming the world's digital pipelines and interfering with Web browsing and delivery of e-mail.

Running a ms-sql-server? Switch it off NOW!
I'm getting massive packet loss to various points on the globe. I am seeing a lot of these in my tcpdump output on each host.
02:06:31.017088 150.140.142.17.3047 > 24.193.37.212.ms-sql-m: udp 376 02:06:31.017244 24.193.37.212 > 150.140.142.17: icmp: 24.193.37.212 udp port ms-sql-m unreachable [tos 0xc0
It looks like there's a worm affecting MS SQL Server which is pingflooding addresses at some random sequence.
