From jericho@attrition.org Sun Jul 1 02:38:11 2001 From: security curmudgeon To: theresa.melody@bakerbotts.com, Jeanne.Hamburg@bakerbotts.com Cc: michael@2cactus.com, brianm , Heathens , legal@attrition.org Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 17:10:26 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Unprofessional Conduct 1. If you wish to contact anyone regarding Attrition.org or the content here, start with *US*. Contacting our upstream provider without mailing us is rude and violates a 20+ year tradition of a 'chain of command'. http://www.attrition.org/~jericho/works/security/chain_of_command.html 2. Sending our upstream provider untrusted potentially hostile attachments is just plain stupid. They refuse to open documents from untrusted sources as any security aware person would. With the spread of viruses via email attachments over the last three years, sending such documents is careless and unthoughtful. 3. E-mail is traditionally done in ASCII text, not formats that require specific software to view. Any correspondance with us needs to be in plain text or it will be ignored. Further correspondance in any format other than plain text will be viewed as intentional harassment from your organization. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: brianm To: jericho Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 15:18:20 -0700 (MST) Subject: FW: MasterCard/Infirngement by attrition.org (fwd) I haven't opened this either - so I don't know what it contains - it was just forwarded to me... -B. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 15:17:08 -0600 From: Michael Dunn To: Brian Matthews Subject: FW: MasterCard/Infirngement by attrition.org Hey, I don't know why I got this... I have not opened the doc since I don't trust whoever this is and having to something with Attrition.org... Nor do I have any idea what she is talking about. The only thing I do know is that Baker Botts is a law firm of some sort. Thought you might want to forward it to Jericho. -MWD -----Original Message----- From: Theresa.Melody@bakerbotts.com [mailto:Theresa.Melody@bakerbotts.com] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 1:30 PM To: michael@inficad.com Cc: Jeanne.Hamburg@bakerbotts.com Subject: MasterCard/Infirngement by attrition.org <>
