The AIDS trojan does bring up some interesting questions. Political
issues aside for a second, what makes anyone think that the company or
individuals behind this are in Panama?

Just because the mail goes to Panama does not mean a thing. There
are also more lax regulations (I would assume) about renting post
office boxes outside of the United States.

Has anyone considered that this might be work of the people who
introduced BRAIN to the world? Other than the address, it might
well be the same culprits.

Rather than worry about who did it, perhaps it would be a better
idea to figure out what to do about? After all the potential for
damage is quite high, and little seems to be know about what is
happening, so far.
