Hello - Does anyone have any good ways to trap the Anig
worm in a large-scale environment? (30,000+ users)?
Apparently it's snagged one of our Domain Admin
credentials, and it's spreading like mad cow disease in
the UK.

:) Thanks in advance.

Cute analogy there at the end. *yawn*

I guess first thing that you can do is disconnect your network to stop the
spreading. Then you can start cleaning your computers. Next thing you can do
is change your administrator passwords. Then all your users will have to
change their passwords... etc...

Make sure that you block TCP port 5190 on any device that can do this for
you (routers, firewalls, ...)

Mike -
We have 500+ sites, 50,000+ nodes, and countless users.
So what you're saying, and asking (while I know already
it's the right thing to do) is impossible. What I'm
asking for are tricks smoeone's tried that have worked.
