If youve noticed the Net being slow today it looks like yet another worm has been released causing chaos on internet links worldwide. Looks like its something to do with SQL on Port 1434.
No reports on the register etc as yet but believe me this is big! Simon. |
It looks like everyone is suffering from a Distributed Denial of
Service attack. It seems to be related to MS SQL servers that suddenly start sending loads of UDP traffic to random IP addressess on port 1434. This keeps on increasing, eventually maxing out links. Simon. |
Culprit :p
|
This makes code red look like a piss in the park. So I wouldnt be posting on a public BBS that you were involved :D
|
I havent noticed any difference?? its faster than yesterday!! So I say - release the worm!! :D
Pete |
Thats because by the time old farts like you get up from your slumber, its impact has been reduced :D
|
|
Good link Jack!
|
Our Mac servers seem to be running fine :)
...but only cos all the SQL servers are off :( Oh what fun it is to work in an ISP! *yawn* |
We have loads of customers shutting their routers off due to the problems its causing them. Doesnt seem thay many customers are aware as yet. Im off for 5 days on monday so Ill miss the aftermath - ah joy!

One of our rotating banner providers has been down since 05:30 this morning ~ had to come into the office to put in some workarounds .. grrrrrr

Where do you work P1Fan...
We got totally fcuked today, costs a lot of cash in my game. But me not being IT I just get to sit here looking stoopid whilst IT runs round pulling wires out of stuff oh well....at least someone left a copy of evo lying around |
I work for WorldCom mate. We knew about it just after midnight. Didnt impact our network that much as we got filters up to reduce traffic.
Simon. |
Dunno.... but it is causing real trouble here, think we have a load of people from Siemens here sorting stuff.
Apparently BT lost a lot of systems... but I don't really know what I am talking about |
UDP broadcast....ehhhh! what is that all about, me dunno

Have UUNET sorted that DNS problem yet?
What happened? |
Its looking ok at the moment. I cant say exactly what happened as its more than my jobs worth posting that sort of stuff on a public bbs. If you look on the register it should give you the lowdown.

Nestle feel foul to it aswell.
Old man told us. Si |
And Barclaycard, Commerzbank, Citibank, EdF, London Electricity, Transco.....they're just a few! Feck and they are only some of the 24/7 places that have weekend people to pick up on it.
Monday will be chaos in London.... no central line and all the computers hacked. :( |
This threat has a special Risk Assessment - it is "High" only for unpatched systems (only affects SQL servers not running SP3): After the week I've just had & now being on holiday, I'm sure as hell glad I've got SP3 running - that & lots of other protection... Phew... |
We were supposed to be patched though.... Que???? We spend fecking loads (I mean really lots) on IT, what a pi55 take!
Dunno...think there were some computers running SQL analytics type jobs (I'm no IT honcho in case you couldn't tell) and they got it in the data they were downloading (weather data i think???) [Flame Suit Donned] I find it fascinating though... you know in the same way you can find those master criminal roberies...even though you cannot condone the action or the cost to innocent people etc etc Night people....
