Overview August 28, 2001

Since the last regularly scheduled CERT summary, issued in May 2001 (CS-2001-02), we have seen several self-propagating worms, as well as active exploitation of vulnerabilities in Solaris in.lpd, BSD telnet daemon and Microsoft IIS by intruders. In addition, we have seen an increase in intruder activity directed at home users.

For more current information on activity being reported to the CERT/CC, please visit the CERT/CC Current Activity page. The Current Activity page is a regularly updated summary of the most frequent, high-impact types of security incidents and vulnerabilities being reported to the CERT/CC. The information on the Current Activity page is reviewed and updated as reporting trends change.
