Hi, NANOGers.
] - the worm is memory resident. Road warriors that are infected at home
] or while traveling are unlikely to introduce this worm into the company
] LAN as they come to work on Monday.
Just a point here: Many road warriors are work-at-home folks who have
their computers on 24x7. They may be infected, and will fire up their
VPN tunnels Monday morning. This may introduce the worm into the chewy
center of many corporate networks. Hopefully folks have put the proper
filters in place on their VPN access points.
Thanks,
Rob.
