I saw a brief blurb on CNN's Headline News last night (18 March 1990) about some hacker(s) [sic] stealing files from Internet sites. Does anyone know any details? :: Jeff Makey Department of Tautological Pleonasms and Superfluous Redundancies Department Disclaimer: Logicon doesn't even know we're running news.

For Usenet sites, article <9003192042.AA07699@cert.sei.cmu.edu> in comp.security.announce goes into detail, but apparently this is nothing more than "several persistent attempts on systems using known security vulnerabilities." TCP-IP readers without Usenet access can retrieve CERT Advisory 90:02 via anonymous FTP from cert.sei.cmu.edu (128.237.253.5) or can request it by mail from cert@cert.sei.cmu.edu. Thanks also to Brian Kantor and J. Paul Holbrook for mailing the article to me, and to Karl Kleinpaste for his own view of the situation. :: Jeff Makey Department of Tautological Pleonasms and Superfluous Redundancies Department Disclaimer: Logicon doesn't even know we're running news.
