digital.forest Technical Support
Ongoing Internet attack update, digital.forest, Inc. and others affected.

At approximately 9:30 PM PST January 24th, digital.forest was affected by the worldwide internet attack known as W32/SQLSlammer. We were alerted within fifteen minutes of the first evidence of this worm as it entered our network. Preventative steps were immediately taken to minimize the impact on our network performance, and prevent damage to network devices.

At this point, all systems are performing normally, with the exception of a handful of client servers that are unfortunately affected by this worm. We are coordinating with clients to have their software patched and brought back online as soon as possible.

Any additional information on this worm can be found at:
