i think it is sad that the public notification wasnt more widespread and noted as a very serious and real threat as i out lined here ... http://nothackers.org/pipermail/0day/2003-July/000143.html

and the curent msnbc story was practically lifted from my forensics report at http://exploit.wox.org/rpc-dcom-ddos-attack.txt ( exploitlabs.com is under sdbot DDoS attack at the moment )

so, I think people should take heed a bit more, and not shrug off a factually based early warning.
