Code Red is Code Green
Robert — (archived)

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for looking out for us. We're in good shape, because I locked down my server back in late April when some (probable) Chinese hackers broke into it using the same entry path as Code Red. Just to be safe, late last night I installed the Code Red security patch from Microsoft.

I'll be monitoring the server tonight at 5PM Pacific when the worm is next scheduled to run, and if I see signs of suspicious activity, I'll shut it down. But I'm confident enough in my precautions that I don't feel the need to preemptively shut down the server.

Thanks again, Jacob.
