Re: Security Hole Found In Dave's Sock

["John Smith" <jsmith1001 () post com>]

OMG! It seems the Crank-Bot.A and the Humrlss variant are now being
deployed as a polymorphous worm, using the Sock vulnerability as an
inital point of infection. The implications are simply enormous...we all
knew a "superworm" was just waiting to be developed, but who would
have guessed anybody would waste the time to write it!

Wait a minute...I didn't write that email...

" > From: John Smith"

oh no...it's too late! I've been compromised! Quickly, protect yourselves
from me! I need immediate quarantine! Additionally, I feel it is both my
legal and moral responsibililty to completely disclose the nature of the
compromise to those potentially affected. If you are a user of the host
John Smith, please change your passwords, and begin checking your credit
reports. This compromise may be extremely serious.

> Can we all shut up now? I know most of you are bored, please try to find
something else to occupy yourselves with. I did not sign up to this list
for childish banter (even though that is what I get most of the time,
this is far exceeding the normal limit).
