Re: Code Red - A Possible Origin?

[Joshua Hirsh <someguy () tao ca>]

Hey folks,

 Just thought that I'd drop a quick message on here, especially
considering the increased traffic we've been seeing over the past few
days.

 I'd just like to say that TAO Communications is a service carrier for
facilitating the communications and organization of individuals and groups
throughout the globe. TAO Communications, as a technical body of
individuals, are sympathetic with the security conscious sys-admins of the
world and fully support the open source movement.

 The page in question on the wrench site, as far as we're concerned, is
purely satirical in nature and does not take credit for the creation
and/or distribution of the Code Red IIS worm.

 TAO Communications would never condone, or support, the release of a worm
or virus that would affect the Internet community.


 Best Regards,

- Joshua Hirsh
