I'm now wondering if we did see a "worm" attempt, what would we do about it?I do run stats and never see any useful info about worms. I agree that we need to know things that are real threats -- and if we can do anything (yes, it's what you don't know that can hurt you) -- but these annoying ones that just fill up logs are just a waste all around IMHO.
