This is the closest I've found, from May 1993. The relevant part is: ===================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Body of SERT Advisory SA-93:03A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Security Emergency Response Team has received information that a successful prosecution of a computer cracker has taken place in New South Wales. The prosecution was aided by the use of an appropriate login banner. The following is an extract from a letter by the Australian Federal Police: "A major factor, commented upon by the magistrate, was the repeated warning message displayed at logon to your system. Your agreement to implement this feature has certainly started to pay dividends and demonstrates a certain willingness to accept [that] tertiary institutions are not fair game." ===================== The URL is http://www.codetalker.com/advisories/auscert/aa-93_03.html . -Alan Lustiger Ernst & Young eSecurity Solutions ******************************************************************************* Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
