Been trying to get into https://eopen.microsoft.com/EN/default.asp for about six hours. Went to report it at Microsoft.com and couldn't get any website comments to post. Anyone else having same problems?

I called our Premier Support Centre as thier web site was also off-line. They said it was due to the SQL Server 2000 virus that has been on the web since Friday night.

According to CERT this virus spreads from one SQL2000 server to another on UDP/1434. I can't believe that Microsoft have production SQL servers open to the internet on this port. Maybe they were stupid enough to have a test SQL server open that could talk to a production one.

Incredible!
