The Register: “The FBI’s National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) has issued a bulletin
stating that “the Internet threat posed by Code Red when it changes from a
scanning mode to an active distributed denial of service (DDoS) mode at 8pm
(EDT) on August 19, 2001 is significantly reduced.”
stating that “the Internet threat posed by Code Red when it changes from a
