mySQL Worm

Just a quick note today about a new mySQL worm that only attacks windows installations.  It has some serious limitations that will (in my opinion) only do in the careless - or possibly the hapless user of some slack software utilising mySQL.

In other words, while I'm not really a fan of mySQL, I can't blame the server too much for this...

It does seem that thousands of PCs are infected - easily seen by checking the IRC channel that they all the zomebied machiens check into and there is a bit more traffic on the default mySQL port.

For the official details see the mySQL security post.
