The Nimda worm has spread wildly, infecting many Microsoft Windows 9x, ME, NT 4.0, and 2000 machines, and its network scans have brought some networks to their knees. It was first reported on September 18th in the morning almost one week after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. There is however no known or reported connection between the two attacks. The worm has also been known as W32/Nimbda-A, Concept5, Code Rainbow, and Minda. The word Nimda could be admin spelled backwards.
