The server appears to be located in the Toronto area which I believe
is -0400 GMT. If it hasn't been monkeyed with, the Last-Modified tag
places the document's creation time around 9:50pm local time on the 19th
of July.
The original Eeye advisory containing details about the worm's
"whitehouse attack mode" was released two days earlier, on the 17th of
July. I'd be a lot more inclined to believe the claim of responsibility
if Apache was giving a 'last-modified' tag earlier than that date. By
the posting date it was already public knowledge.
