Greg:

This topic has been under discussion in the main group since yesterday.
(no I am not doing a "Larry" - I'll leave that to him <g>)

It seems there is a new worm running around and probing 1433
1433 is the default port for the  SQL server on  almost all networks.

Seems like someone is looking to steal/trash any database they
can get their  hands on.

See topics in the main group with "1433" or "exploit" in the subject.
