In response to the publication of the SQL Slammer source code in a major industry magazine, Microsoft officials are warning users to make sure they've taken advantage of the rash of SQL Slammer defenses on the Microsoft Web site.
Wired Magazine is running an article in its July issue called "Slammed! An Inside View of the Worm that Crashed the Internet in 15 Seconds." The article, which includes a copy of the Slammer worm source code, prompted Microsoft corporate vice president for SQL Server, Gordon Mangione, to write a letter to SQL Server users that Microsoft posted on its Web site.
