It was a web site the Code Red Worm sent data to, once it infected a
machine.
It was part of the CR script.  Site has been shut down a while ago.
Part of the CR script:

Subject: http://www.worm.com/default.ida? requests


        My webcache is having a massive ammount of requests for
http://www.worm.com/default.ida?.  Is this an infected machine trying to
scan, or is this a scanner trying to detect compromised hosts?

        I have found a reference to www.worm.com in a document saying it
is part of the text placed on the homepage of a web server that has been
defaced by Code Red.

        Thanks,
