The intent of the 'Infocon' is to reflect changes in malicious traffic and the possibility of disrupted connectivity. In particular important is the concept of "Change". Every host connected to the Internet is subject to some amount of traffic caused by worms and viruses. However, once a worm has been identified and the number of infected machines is no longer increasing, this traffic is not likely to cause any disruptions.


INFOCon Definition
Threat Level: Green Everything is normal. No significant new threat known.
Threat Level: Blue This status is used for testing only. Everything is normal. No significant new threat known.
Threat Level: Yellow We are currently tracking a significant new threat. The impact is either unknown or expected to be minor to the infrastructure. However, local impact could be significant. Users are advised to take immediate specific action to contain the impact. Example: 'MSBlaster' worm outbreak.
Threat Level: Orange A major disruption in connectivity is imminent or in progress. Examples: Code Red on its return, and SQL Slammer worm during its first half day
Threat Level: RED Loss of connectivity across a large part of the internet.
