I'd say this is fairly old news. We have been seeing these attacks since shortly
after the advisory for the hole. micu is just your standard ddos/backdoor tool
and the kids using it are mostly romanian and from south america.

What worries me more is that we are also seeing a massive increase in
non-application-specific PHP inclusion attacks. Seems like there are several
spiders that just try injecting http://-style URLs into any URI parameter they
see on a given domain.
