RPC DCOM Worm Hits the Net 2003-08-11

The worm seems to be concentrating on what I'd call a pseudo-class B subnet, i.e. if the infected PC is 12.34.56.78 then it will concentrate on scanning 12.34.x.x primarily, with some further scanning on 12.x.x.x and a much smaller amount of random scanning.

I guess it's doing this to compromise ...
