Wednesday, July 25th, 2001David Moore at CAIDA (The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis) - The Spread of the Code-Red Worm (CRv2).
On July 19, 2001 more than 359,000 computers were infected with the Code-Red (CRv2) worm in less than 14 hours. At the peak of the infection frenzy, more than 2,000 new hosts were infected each minute. 43% of all infected hosts were in the United States, while 11% originated in Korea followed by 5% in China and 4% in Taiwan. The .NET Top Level Domain (TLD) accounted for 19% of all compromised machines, followed by .COM with 14% and .EDU with 2%. We also observed 136 (0.04%) .MIL and 390 (0.11%) .GOV hosts infected by the worm. A QuickTime animation of the geographic expansion of the worm is available.
