Akamai published the first report on the state of the internet. Interesting among is the following:
During the first quarter of 2008, Akamai observed attack traffic targeted at 23 unique ports – some well known services, and others appearing to be more arbitrarily selected. The most attacked port, Port 135, was the target of nearly 30% of the attacks observed throughout Q1 2008. This port is used for remote procedure calls on Microsoft operating systems, and was used by the Blaster worm back in 2003 to facilitate propagation.
