woot! that's a huge change.
btw what does it excatly do? does it just cause traffic? you didnt loose any data?
Can they remove the worm easily just like any other virus? or does it really mess up with the db?

Well it increases network activity by such a huge ammount that basically all activity is ground to a halt effectively stopping any access to the systems...thus called a Denial of Service attack, this did not cause damage to local data but could have caused lost packets which could be just as damaging depending on what data was lost...in example an atm machine sending money in a packet.... you get the idea.
