TKR Cables Channel 20 was in our office today. Scary; we will be on TeeVee. At 02:04 PM 7/18/97 -0400, Cameo Wood wrote:
Better watch out, more reporting to come soon. I was just called by 3 seperate magazines for a quote about the NSI problems that we have been having. The scary part is, 2 of them got my number from my postings on usenet. I hope they aren't citing any Joe-Bob CNE they talk to as being an "Internet Engineer for a major ISP." Then we are all in big trouble.

Looks like this person has confused Eugene Kashpureff's stunts with the NSI debacle.
It's things like this that threaten our (as well as the network's) reputation when read by the 'internet savvy' public.
There was a good article in the San Jose Mercury News which covered both events, but made it pretty clear that experts such as some guy from the FBI didn't think there was any real connection between them. Only important thing the article missed, IMHO, is that there's already new software out which wasn't as susceptible to Kashpureff's idiotic stunt.
