Oh, this is just lovely. Cox@work (my ISP, or more accurately, my IP provider) is apparently a major target of Code Red II. Service has been pretty spotty for the past couple of days.

From a technical standpoint, this makes sense. (Let me digress for a moment…. Cox@work is the “business” side of @home. @home is well known for both their lack of security and the number of bootleg servers that run on their net.) Guess what, folks– running a wide-open PWS on @home is going to get you hammered. Code Red will find you.
