Re: [APML] Earlier virus emails

[George Anderson <georgea@cam.org>]

Just to add to the "fun", seds.org was hacked about four or five days

and other such information when they were there. Anyone who will hack
and butcher a website will most likely take the same pleasure in
e-mailing viruses out to people.
