TrendLabs has received a number of reports from two major companies describing attacks via port 1434 that are attributed to this malware.

This DDoS attack uses a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to create a denial of service condition between two Microsoft SQL servers. It affects systems running Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
