Subject: File 4--Computer Science "Security" Seminar??

Unsolicited junkmail received today. I almost tossed it. It's a
three-fold, two-color card, impossible to reproduce correctly in
ASCII, but I'll do the best I can. It's worth looking over (for
all the wrong reasons).

Your employees may be cyber terrorists! I wonder whose BBS is about
to become famous... I'll wait for the movie, thanks.

"THE DARK SIDE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY"
    information assets at risk

An in depth seminar you can't afford to miss.

(*) Computer Underground releases 250 viruses targeting anti-virus
software [tj: their capitalization]

(*) Air Force Institute of Technology study proves scanner technology
can't cope with the real threat

(*) Deadly stealth and polymorphic viruses cost companies billions.

(**) THE Computer Underground Exposed ...an in-depth seminar.


"A quality education opportunity:

(*) Everyone is telling you something different!!! Some "experts" and
OEMs are saying the virus threat is all hype and the work of mischievous
adolescents. Find out the truth!!! Know what the real threat is and who
contributes to the astronomical number of viruses currently in
existence. Figures can be deceiving. Look into the heart, mind and
arsenal of the enemy!!!


IDSI is presenting the most in depth seminar on computer viruses in the
PC environment. The development of  progressively more sophisicated
viruses continues to accelerate at a phenomenal rate. Today, powerful
new strains of viruses -- stealth, polymorphic, the Dark Avenger
Mutation Engine, do it yourself virus kits -- present a sinister threat
to the computing world. This is not the run of the mill classroom type
seminar. You will see real screens from an undergrounds virus bulletin
board and the demonstration of the same cirus creation software widely
available to cyber terrorists, as well as to your own employees.
