It's on CNN, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and has also been announced by
Sophos [1], Cisco [2], and CERT [3]. It's pretty large scale incident,
and is resulting in some hard hitting 'attacks' even for those not
using MS SQL servers.

The bug that this worm is taking advantage of is an old one, released
and patched back in July of last year.

There are a load more resources already popping up about it too.
