Problems with viruses and ISN (was RE: Hi! :-) RE: Virus)

[InfoSec News <isn () c4i org>]

Due to the second posting of a virus in as many weeks, ISN was given a
stand down and other replacement mailing list programs are being
evaluated.

In the interim, we're continuing InfoSec News with with the password
on, which I doubt any version of Bagle or Netsky will be able forward
future virus infected payloads, but that doesn't mean that we're going
to stick with Majordomo, expect a shift to better mail list manager
software in the very near future.

Oh and J Random Hacker, if you were looking for new viruses for your
collection, all you had to do is ask, like everyone else does when
looking for a copy of the latest virii floating around.
  
But mailing the list via the same spoofing flaw that has been present
in Majordomo for half a decade was very childish. Any real hacker
would have suggested a fix for the buggy internal screening mechanisms
that plague Majordomo.

Thanks for your support!

I just got another virus from the ISN list. You did, too.

While I appreciate the addition to my collection, I think it's time to fix this.

Thank you in advance.
