August, 2001The Code Red virus turned out to have less of an effect on the internet than expected. It only affects Windows machines running Windows NT or Windows 2000; none of the machines at ValleyNet were affected, but we did see some increased traffic to our servers from other machines elswhere on the Internet.
If you have a home network and are using Windows machines, you might want to take a look at this information from CERT about securing your home network.
