In fact, news has always been easy to forge.  Several of the possible
methods leave a trace, but others only tell where you hopped onto the
news distribution network, and logfiles only help when the
administrator isn't on vacation.  But that's ok; this is only netnews.
"Security" merely means you can't believe everything you read here, it
doesn't mean your machine has been broken into.  Even the Post Office
doesn't claim to prevent forgery.
