[net.sf-lovers] public concern over computer security

GARFINKEL@RUTGERS.ARPA@sri-unix.UUCP (08/24/83)

any years have WE been
aware that this is possible and indeed happens).  The editorial was extremely
well written (including many examples of how in virtually all colleges many
people believe themselves SO clever for being able to break into or crash a
computer) and done in such a way that I believe would cause Joe Public to start
regarding the whole thing in the same light as kids "borrowing" a car to go
hotrodding after the owner left the keys in it.  It was a good example of how
good use of persuasive writing techniques can go both ways and I for one appre-
ciated it.  I wish that I could remember some of the several other good points
which were made or reproduce the craftsmanship.  Anyone out there have a copy
which you would type in?
