Still don't recognize this. There was a rumour around 1995 that AOL floppies were infected with BUPT, but AOL claimed that there were no verified instances, and there was a CIAC advisory to that effect. There were loads of AOL-connected virus hoaxes, of course. -- David Harley _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
