With Code Red in full effect AT&T has opted to shutdown incoming web traffic to their residential cable modem customers. This won't effect web browsing but will hinder access to the web servers that aren't supposed to be there anyway. Though this sounds like a good idea and could reclaim some of the bandwidth that is being consumed by Code Red from the outside it won't stop further infection unless everyone running IIS patches their system.
