- Internet worm causing major problems -
DriverHeaven is reporting that there appears to be a Microsoft SQL Monitor
worm spreading. Massive UDP traffic on port 1434 is affecting major internet
backbones, including UUNET. Of course, servers and home users are being
flooded as well. Many websites are currently inaccessible or slow, depending
on your location and ISP. Check out the Packet Loss and Reachability
graphs here.
- New SQL Worm? - About 9:30PM PST on January 25th, 2002,
some SQL Server 2000 installations were compromised by some sort of SQL
Server Worm. The compromised boxes/worms generated more than 80Mbit of
outgoing traffic (probably more if our connection could have handled it)
trying to compromise other boxes it seems. Those SQL Servers running Service
Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 (released Jan 17 with little/no notice from MS!) were
immune to the worm.
- What's in a name? Not Palladium - Microsoft has
dropped the code name of its controversial security technology, Palladium,
in favor of this buzzword-bloated tongue twister: "next-generation secure
computing base." On Friday, the company said that the name Palladium had
become tarnished by controversy surrounding some elements of Microsoft's
security push. In additional, it faced a potential legal battle with a small
firm over the Palladium name.

- The End Of ATi? -
This overview of allegations from the Ontario Securities Commission is the
complete list of allegations against ATi charging them with insider trading,
lying and conduct contrary to public interest. This could have an extremely
damaging effect on ATi as a company as well as damaging to employees and
shareholders if the company stock tanks. The effect a negative outcome in this
matter could have a huge impact on the industry as a whole. Here is a clip
from the long list of allegations against ATi. (source:

- ATI R350 Plans -
The
Inquirer has gathered some info on the upcoming R350 from ATI: ATI's magic
goal is to achieve 400MHz/800 MHz for the card and memory while we know that
it can easily clock it to 375 MHz, which can be considered as the lowest
frequency of R350. The final silicon should be back from TSMC any day now, as
product is almost ready and when it does we will try to confirm the
information about the final clock. 400 to 425 MHz is a dream target. R350 is
likely to stay with the Radeon 9x00 branding name, where x will be replaced
with 8 or 9, so it may well be named the Radeon 9800 or 9900.
