Rodgers) Newsgroups: comp.unix.wizards Subject: R. T. Morris (suspected Internet worm propagator) charged? Message-ID: <11727@cgl.ucsf.EDU> Date: 31 Jul 89 16:16:34 GMT Sender: daemon@cgl.ucsf.edu Reply-To: rodgers@maxwell.mmwb.ucsf.edu (R. P. C. Rodgers) Organization: Univ. of Calif., San Francisco Lines: 18 I heard a brief one-sentence report on the BBC World Service several days ago to the effect that U.S. Federal authorities had formally charged R. T. Morris, Jr., with crimes in connection with the Internet worm of November 1988. Could someone with accurate details kindly post them to the net; readers of this newsgroup were very actively involved, both in fighting off the worm and (afterward) in debating the ethics of the affair. Thanks in advance... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R. P. C.
