You never know *who* is reading the networks (and I know, for >a fact, that people at CitiBank *do* read UseNET). > Big Deal. If it was truly posted to 60 boards (or 6 for that matter) it is more or less public knowledge among mostly inexperienced hackers. That is to say, anything that has been posted to 60 boards is old news. The really good hackers don't post that kind of stuff. If they share it with anyone (and they usually do) it will be with close friends. When a hacker writes it up in a file and posts it (even on private hacker boards, generally), he's done having his fun with the system. Of course these are only my opinions and are primarily besed on spending a couple years (back when I was 15) reading and gaining memberships to private BBSs. Of course, I never actually applied anything I learned there in an illegal manner. It was purely curiosity. I'm sure the holes have already been closed. CitiBank should let us know just how careless (if that is the case) they were or how good the hackers were by posting what happend in detail. Isn't CitiBank rumored to also be laundering money for lots of big coke dealers as well as having handled the Contra arms/drug money? >Sean Eric Fagan | "Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts." >seanf@sco.COM | -- Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck), _Magnum, P.I._ >(408) 458-1422 | Any opinions expressed are my own, not my employers'. --- barr@caen.engin.umich.edu
