I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but SecurityFocus is
operating a Code Red notification service:

Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2001 10:50:22 -0600
To: bugtraq at securityfocus.com
From: aleph1 at securityfocus.com
Subject: Infection Notification
--------

If you'd like to help us notify users they are infected please send
offending IP data to aris-report at securityfocus.com. Please use the
following format:

IP ADDRESS DATE/TIME WITH TIMEZONE

Or something similar to this. Please ensure the information is
constrained to IP address and date per line as we do our notification
automatically and our systems need to be able to understand the
data you send us.
