Is this alarming? What can someone do with NIMDA Attack?

Well since you are not running IIS on a windows box absolutly nothing. It only affects windows so don't worry.
 
Nimda only affects Windows boxes, so you have no need to worry. You might want to take note of the IP address, and track down the owner of that IP address and let them know they are infected. Use the Traceroute, Lookup and Whois panes on Network Utility.

That is only good 'Net citizenship.
