Code Red: A New Threat

Core_1
Abstract
The Code Red worms provided another example of a known security hole being widely exploited after fixes to the vulnerability had been made available. For many unknown reasons, available patches were not applied to vulnerable systems. This allowed the worm to propagate more than a month after fixes to this vulnerability were made publicly available. However, people and organizations can minimize their risk of being affected by similar vulnerabilities by following an in-depth defensive strategy
