[1500EST 23-OCT-1989] This should go without saying, but just so that there is no question. Effective immediately: The source code to the worm shall not be released to any public bulletin board by anyone within the DECnet-Internet community. Posting of this worm to a public board may be construed as malicious mischief on behalf of the poster. All copies of this worm should be deleted from any system unless someone has been asked by either the HEPnet or SPAN management to preserve their copy(ies). Any system manager or system user who knowingly re-releases the worm or a variant thereof back into the DECnet-Internet community will be guilty of a Felony under the Computer Security Act of 1987, and WILL be prosecuted under this act. This notice is issued to all SPAN, HEPnet, and other DECnet-Internet sites, as well as all computer security response teams, both domestic to the United States and to all European Countries. Foreign incidents will be handled through the appropriate Federal agencies. Reporting and followup activities are being coordinated by US-SPAN managment at Goddard Space Flight Center. Tail sites will be contacted through their appropriate routing center managers as necessary. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Tencati | NCF::TENCATI /6277::TENCATI SPAN Security Manager | Tencati@Nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center | (301)286-5223 Greenbelt, MD.
