Concerning Netcom.Com users.
Recently, there have been a series of forged subscriptions to
several Internet sources from a/several Netcom.Com user/s. The
forgery was an attack to the US President, First Lady and
Vice-President and due to a very serious lack of security at
Netcom.com.
The scientific fora I manage (i.e. [log in to unmask],
with a membership of 1600++ academics from 47 countries and
[log in to unmask], a forum for knowledge transfer between
children and marine scientists) were two of the targets. Thus, I
have decided to halt all new subscriptions from users at Netcom.com
unless I am certain that the security hole has been fixed up and
[log in to unmask] (and both fora) receive an
apology from the Security Manager from Netcom.com.
