So it was reported in the Mop and Pail that the the ENvironmental Law Assosc. and some other group that I can't recall were recently burgled. Their offices were ransacked and I beleive some data were stolen. Does anyone have any follow-up info? Did anyone grab the free implementation of the DES in alt.sources? Maybe we should make these guys a present :-| Steve -- Steve Cumming stevec@lccr.cs.sfu.ca {uunet|...}!ubc-cs!fornax!stevec School of CS SFU (604) 291-4399 beneath the moon / the wuggly-ump Vancouver, CDN is hurtling on / kerblash kerplunk

The other group was the Ontario Environment Network an umbrella group which among other things operated a computer system/BBS wich was on USENET, Peacenet and others (web.UUCP). I don't know all the details but it certianly seems a little fishy that a thief would have taken care to seek out and take all the sets of backup tapes and floppies, and original software as well as the computer. > > Does anyone have any follow-up info? > > Did anyone grab the free implementation of the DES > in alt.sources?

As far as they see it, they're doing nothing illegal so what have they got to hide. Oh by the way I did keep the DES package and will be setting up an anon uucp archive sometime over the next month. -- Norman Soley - Data Communications Analyst - Ontario Ministry of the Environment UUCP: uunet!mnetor!ontmoh!ontenv!soley | Contents of this message are OR: soley@ontenv.UUCP | my ideas, not the Ministry's "Stay smart, go cool, be happy, it's the only way to get what you want"
