The 11/19 WSJ contains an article: `Sophisticated' Intruder Breaches Interne t Security" Apparently a BARRnet account was compromised, and someone sniffed packets to grab passwords. I've seen the discussions in the comp.security.misc newsgroup. I haven't see n anything from CERT yet. Does anyone have further details ? Thanks, David Not about BARRnet, but NEARnet subscribers got a letter a couple of weeks ago telling us they had been compromised. They did not give details about how the crackers got through. Sid
