RIPE NCC Report: Sapphire/SQL Slammer Worm Impact

[RIPE NCC WebMaster <]

Dear Colleagues,


On the morning of 25 January 2003, the Sapphire worm (aka "SQL slammer") was
released on the Internet. The RIPE NCC monitored the activity through its various
projects that examine elements of the key infrastructure of the Internet on a 24/7
basis.

Data collected during this period has now been analysed and compiled in a report
by RIPE NCC staff.

The complete report "Sapphire/SQL Slammer Worm Impact on Internet Performance" is
