Tampa: Slammer or whatever you want to call it went worldwide in 10 minutes..... I would suggest your admins have less time than they used to....<s>

I can't remember where I was reading it, (probably BugTraq or one of the other mailing lists I'm on), but there was a long and interesting article about the newer methods of viruses spreading themselves. They all had an emphasis on speed of travel with some predicted as being able to infoect worldwide in as little as 30 seconds...... I am quite sure that the days of having the whole weekend to trot into work and D/L the defs/patch etc. are thoroughly gone..... Unfortunately....
