Make that: be VERY careful: google: "PC Phone Home" Brigadoon DIRT "Codex Data Systems" >> <http://www.google.com/search?q=%22PC+Phone+Home%22+Brigadoon+DIRT+%22Codex+Data+Systems%22> Frank Jones/SpyKing - Security Threat Profile http://cryptome.sabotage.org/threats/fnj-threat.htm (3 April 2003) === excerpt: " Within days of being debarred, the new company and corporate name was set up, and Brigadoon Software morphed into the spin-off company of Codex Data Systems. Basically, the new company promoted the DIRT trojan (a primitive version of "Back Orifice") as the product called "PC Phone Home". Frank Jones then assumed the alias of Marty or Martin Moran [that's the joker who emailed me!] and the entire cycle started again. " It should be mentioned that PC Phone Home was actually created by Eric Schnieder while he was working at Codex (and Jones), prior his leaving, and the DLA debarrment [DLA = The Defense Logistics Agency, US Gov't]. Frank Jones (or so he claims) was also heavily involved in the creation and marketing of the PC Phone Home product, so essentially the product "PC Phone Home" was developed by a convicted felon and mental patient (Jones)... it sort of blows the credibility of the product.
