Dear Readers,

Pardon the additional email but a few of you have pointed something
out to me that I felt I needed to pass along so that you could get to
each linked story you were interested in.

Some of the links that I provide that lead to the stories are too
long to fit on one line and consequently are wrapped to the following
line (I have reprinted those stories below).I always try to insure
that the entire link is active but sometimes this wrapping breaks the
URL into two parts with the first part blue and underlined like a
normal active link and the second half appearing as black text. If
you look though, you will see that the entire URL actually lies
between two brackets that look like <URL> this.

If the entire link is not active, you can cut and paste the to halves
together in the address bar on your browser to access the story. I
apologize for this occasional inconvenience but it currently passes
my control to change.

Thanks for pointing this out, hope this email but please let me know
if you have any other questions or comments. And THANKS for reading.

V/R

Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, a leading congressional evangelist on
critical infrastructure protection issues, also called on U.S.
civilian agencies to adopt the "red team/blue team" models used by
the defense agencies to test their information security defenses.
In this model, red teams are the attacking force, while blue teams
defend. For the full story:

them to attack Web servers based on Microsoft's software appears to
have compromised 2,000 or more Web sites thus far, security analysts
said.

SECURITY: What do Anna, ILOVEYOU, and Homepage have
in common (besides being annoying viruses, of course)? All are
mass-mailer worms built from do-it-yourself worm-generator kits. Yes,
creating your own virus is really that simple. The good news is that
such generic worms are easily stopped in their tracks. Robert tells
you how to squash the kit-based worms and also warns to be vigilant
for non-kit-based viruses.
