Um, not quite. Next week, they'll be a version that attacks Apache/Linux 
systems. Be vigilant, the road to being attacked is paved with these feelings
of overconfidence.

Expect the patch to be available somewhat more quickly, however...

Nah, I don't have time for that. If you want to write it, maybe I'll run it
though! :)

I spent a couple of minutes putting up something simple, sorta to see if I 
could parry this kind of attack. If anyone cares to look, the result takes up 
less bandwidth than the error page Apache produces, and may amuse someone.
Let's say that I make clear that I'm aware of this attack, and express my
opinion of the worm creators...

That's about all I think it deserves. I'm using Linux 'cuz I have work to do...
