[Amps] Spam and worms attachments from mailing list

[Will Matney]

The new worm out has been hitting me every day, receiving as high a 6-8 a day. Where this is a new e-mail addy, and this list is the only one I signed back up with so far, that means it came from here. However, the e-mails were either harvested off the list, or ones computer was infuected with the worm and sent mine, and everyone elses addys out over the net.

Anyhow, there's a gold lining to the cloud. Today, in the Washington Post, it was reported that the two hackers responsible for this last worm was arrested. One was in Turkey, and one in Morocco. One 18, and one 21 years of age. You can see the full story at the below link. I figured some would like to know that some justice was done. By the way, the two were dumb enough to sign the code..Hi Hi.
