...dreaded BMUG Crime Orginization... --- When Macs are outlawed, only outlaws will have Macs. --- You know, I'm surprized nobody has thought of the obvious here, which is maybe Outlook is hacking itself. Maybe Windows is sending that crap out onto the internet with no human involvement whatsoever. Maybe the worm is just a random thing sparked by some .dll file someplace. You know, this W2K thing hasn't been fully tested. We shouldn't be quick to assume there's intent behind it, yet alone bandits. --- Hey, BTW, here's a fun Outlook exploit: type the word 'begin ' followed by two spaces and then text, like (first line) 'begin<sp><sp>Duke of URL quotation' and then type or block copy some important text into the email. Now, mail it to an Outlook user. -- Hey, what happened to the text?! --- MS's fix for this is 'Don't begin emails with the word, begin. --- "End my end is my beginning." -TS Eliot <g> -JCJ

Duke, LOL I knew it was them. <g>

One question. Can any harm really come of this if the information acquired by the hackers (if any) does NOT get to a major competitor? Other than being a minor embarrassment to MSFT, is this really an issue?

TIA,
Dave
