ROGUE PROGRAM RUNNING
AMOK IN COMPUTER NET
NEW YORK - A rogue computer
program that steals electronic documents,
user passwords and erases files has been
winding its way through a nationwide
computer network previously plagued in
1988, according to a published report.
The New York Timesreports in today's
editions that a computer hacker has devised
a program that infiltrated corporations,
non-classified military installations,
government laboratories and several
universities. Government computer security
teams have been unable to trace the source
of the illegal program.
The computer network is Internet, a
worldwide collection of computer systems
that links corporations, government projects
and universities together. Unidentified
investigators told the Times that the latest
hacker has entered dozens of systems,
including those of Los Alamos National
Laboratory, Digital Equipment Corporation,
Harvard University, Boston University and
the University of Texas.
