Missed this
article in eWeek
about the source of the SQL Slammer worm. Some experts are
saying the code signatures point towards it being at least
based on code from the Honker Union of China. They point out
their anti-American standings and then go on to talk about how
it did the most damage in Asia. Interesting that most of the
unpatched servers where Asian though, I wonder if the wide
spread piracy had anything to do with it. I'm willing to bet
there are H0nk3rs all over the place there running copies of
SQL Server unpatched because they got it for $5 bucks of the
street.
