Smith holds no credentials in the fields of computer security

Here's the breakdown of nominees for the 1996 Computer Virus
Hysteria Awards.


( ) Richard M. Smith

This president of Phar Lap Software went ballistic when he
discovered an exploitable bug (fixed in about a week) in Netscape
Navigator. Smith holds no credentials in the fields of computer
security -- but this didn't stop him from chastizing legitimate
experts who seek to dispel the Good Times urban legend. In a public
message to NCSA's Mich Kabay, Smith pointed to the obscure bug he
found and adamantly proclaimed:

"It's the good time virus for real."


COMPUTER VIRUS HYSTERIA 1996 is over and the WINNERS are in!!


4. Richard M. Smith, Phar Lap (39 votes):

"Its the good time virus for real."
