HUGE DDoS Attack cripples the Internet

[admin]

Overnight, there was a HUGE event on the Internet that effected millions of users. A vulnerability in Microsoft's SQL code is being attacked by a new worm and is being propagated so quickly throughout the Internet that DNS root server and major backbones are being overloaded with traffic. While access to some of our servers were effected by traffic overloads on the major backbones, none of our servers are infected by the worm.
