It's only an email virus, but in light of the above, the timing is interesting. The bar is being raised. Between Code Red and Nimda, the past few months have been most interesting, network-wise. By any stretch of the imagination, wyrmspawningfalls well within the boundary of "terrorist acts". The idea is that; to coerce behavior, via threat of harm or direct actiontocommit harm, is an act of terrorism. There goes the argument that crackers are doing us all a favor by exploiting security holes. -- R O E L A N D M J M E Y E R Managing Director Morgan Hill Software Company tel: +1 925 373 3954 cel: +1 925 352 3615 fax: +1 925 373 9781 http://www.mhsc.com
