[net.followup] BBS Attacks

------
Attacks on Bulletin Board systems are nothing new.

A SYSOP learns by hard experience how to spot
"worms" and "Trojan Horses".

For example, a new bulletin board in our area had the
entire contents of its main drive erased last week
by someone who gained access to some utilities that
were unfortunately left on the system by a new SYSOP.
