We are putting together a list of viruses, worms, or trojan horses
specifically aimed at BBS software or are capable of being implanted
in a system through BBS procedures (e.g., new user information,
uploading zip files).  We *ARE NOT* looking for viruses that are
spread *on* BBSs by sharing of software, but rather for programs
speficially designed to attack a system *using* BBS software, such as
the recent bug in Telegard that allowed a user to access the system
using zip files.

We are trying to update a story for CuD. Responses can be sent to:
   jthomas@well.sf.ca.us     or  tk0jut2@niu.bitnet
