I can't tell you what clue is, but I know when I don't see it. In some cases our clients have had Code Red, Nimda, and Sapphire hit the same friggin machines. To borrow from the exploding car analogy, if you're the highway dept. and you notice that only *some* people's cars seem to explode, maybe you build the equivalent of an HOV lane with concrete dividers, and funnel them all into it, so at least they don't blow up the more conscientious drivers/mechanics in the next lane over. Providers who were negatively affected might want to look at their lists, compare with past incident lists and schedule a maintenance window to aggregate the repeat offenders ports where feasible, to isolate impact of the next worm. We've tried to share clue with clients via security announcements, encouraging everyone to get on their vendors' security lists, follow BUGTRAQ, and provide relevant signup URLs. Mike
