Has your internet been slow today? Heres why


WASHINGTON - Traffic on the Internet slowed dramatically for hours early Saturday, the effects of a fast-spreading, virus-like infection that overwhelmed the world's digital pipelines and broadly interfered with Web browsing and delivery of e-mail.

Sites monitoring the health of the Internet reported significant slowdowns globally. Experts said the electronic attack bore remarkable similarities to the "Code Red" virus during the summer of 2001 which also ground online traffic to a halt.

The virus-like attack, which began about 12:30 a.m. EST, sought out vulnerable computers on the Internet to infect using a known flaw in popular database software from Microsoft Corp., called "SQL Server 2000." But the attacking software code was scanning for victim computers so randomly and so aggressively — sending out thousands of probes each second — that it saturated many Internet data pipelines.


"This is like Code Red all over again," said Marc Maiffret, an executive with eEye Digital Security, whose engineers were among the earliest to study samples of the attack software. "The sheer number of attacks is eating up so much bandwidth that normal operations can't take place."


"The impact of this worm was huge," agreed Ben Koshy of W3 International Media Ltd., which operates thousands of Web sites from its computers in Vancouver. "It's a very significant attack."


Koshy added that, about six hours after the attack started, commercial Web sites that had been overwhelmed were starting to come back online as engineers began effectively blocking the malicious data traffic. At the height of the attack, another company reported that computers were flooded with more than 125 megabytes of data every second.

I don't know, i always get these damn pop up adds that say that my computer may be attacked and it is giving out a IP address. Sometimes I get this "File Download" from who knows were it just decides to pop up when im looking around on the computer. Does anyone else ever get this kind of shit? Like Jimster said....What is the point of attacking other peoples computers? Must be some real waisted dumb smart ass geeks who have Way TOO much time on their hands with nothing better to do than think how funny it would be to mess the shit out of someones computer, and like jimster said....Thier computer must be their girlfriend or their only friend.

I relieved some stress....
