I was wondering what went wrong with the Shrapnel server lately. The forum was really slow in the past day or two and then failed altogether yesterday. Just looked up their main page and it seems that their whole site went down, not just the forum. Were they using an unpatched Version of IIS? Got hit by the Code Red epidemic?
In fact in the Last week or so I noticed a big jump of port scans on my own computer. Port 27374 used to be the all-time favourite for obvious reasons, but port 80 scans really surpassed it in terms of numbers. What's even more interesting is that a lot of the originating addresses were from my own @Home cable modem network... so many "home" Users running IIS on their computers???
OT - Shrapnel Games server hit by Code Red?!?
