Is there a particular target of the DoS attacks?
Yes. From the 20th of every month to the 28th, the worm targets an IP address formerly associated with the White House Web site, flooding it with data in an attempt to knock it offline. The White House took precautions against it, changing its numerical Internet address to dodge the attack. Last week, the Pentagon shut down public access to all of its Web sites temporarily to purge and protect them. But security experts say virus writers could easily alter the worm so it could attack another address.
