Alex Eckelberry writes over on the Sunbelt Software blog:
You may have heard of the so-called Kama Sutra worm (actually, it goes by a number of different names, but it’s being loosely referred to as “Kama Sutra” because one of the email subject lines it uses includes the words “Kama Sutra pics”).
Anyway, like any good web “marketing” effort, this worm actually reports back to a server that is keeping track of the number of infections. We did a quick informal check this morning.
At about 12:00 pm EDT, the counter was at 508,728 [above].
At about 12:15 pm EDT, the counter was at 509,532.
804 infections in 15 minutes.
