Message-ID: <405F7590.6050001@egotistical.reprehensible.net> From: ge at egotistical.reprehensible.net (Gadi Evron) Subject: viruses being sent to this list -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 | Today's spoof, of an email supposedly coming from me with an infected | file was a cute trick by whatever kiddie, but doesn't really bother me. I am sorry if this was not clear - it is possible this spoof was done un-intentionally by an infected system, but the idea behind my email stands. | However, the mailing list has become, in a growing trend, a means by | which people transfer viruses, whether it is their intention or if they | got "0wned" is irrelevant, distributing malware is illegal, and should | be dealt with by the list owners. I stand by it being irresponsible, and I do believe it is illegal, however, laws in different countries vary, so as I can not cite any ruling at the moment, I'd rather take the "illegal" part back until I can cite something. Spreading malicious code, though, I am pretty sure *is* illegal in the US, anyone with knowledge in this subject who can correct me or back me up, please do so. Other than that, I wasn't looking to start a discussion, I await the response of the list managers.
