[lug] nimda on frontpage?

[Riggs, Rob]

A cached copy of the web site will prove nothing. Microsoft acknowledges
that there was a link to the Nimda code on the FrontPage site, but says that
the Nimda link pointed to a non-existant file. They claim that the web site
is maintained by a third party. That third party was infected and when they
uploaded the new HTML, it included the Nimbda link. The Nimda execuable was
not uploaded with the HTML, they say.

So, yes, cached copies will appear to be infected, according to Microsoft.

Anyone still have the frontpage website cached?  MS is denying that
the page was ever infected.
