I'm looking for an ARPANET article about a security breech at a western U.S.
computer installation.  Unfortunately, I discarded my copy of the article,
and I can't seem to locate it in the archives.

As I recall, the article referenced a site that was connected to several
outside networks which was logged on to with a bogus login id from a remote
location.  The thing that is important to me is that he logged in via several
alternate networks when the net servers for the offending net(s) were turned
off.

In fact, he [the person logging on without permission] kept logging in (through
the courtesy of the system managers who babysat the bogus login) until some
extensive research was done to locate the offender.

Anyone who knows what I'm talking about should send me mail.  Certainly I don't
know what I'm talking about...  *sigh*
