Spanning the CD's simply means that the image will burn to multiple CD's. And I promise - It'll take multiple CD's. In addition to keeping my data on a separate drive - I also burn my files to DVD's, Just in case the HD's fail.

It's Russian stuff.

Go to: www.incidents.org, which is a neat little website that I've bookmarked, run by IS pros for the benefit of IS administrators.

You may have to scroll through a bit of stuff. The memos/updates of 6/24 were quite informative.

Although they published the 'go-to-' numbers (217 prefixes) they STRONGLY advised that one should play carefully...

Thanks. I'd read it was a Russian network, but hadn't seen a specific IP or range.

Looks like they've located and shut down the Russian server, so the current attack is pretty well disabled. All that's left now is the cleanup.
