by Marvin 05 May '00

05 May '00

Just received this and it refers to tomorrows (Saturday) event. For those that don't know, the courses are colored as to difficulty. The white course is the easiest and the one most people should try if they are just starting out in Orienteering. The URL for the Los Angeles Orienteering Club (LAOC) is: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/6320/ -------------- LAOC will be at Schabarum Regional Park in the City of Industry tomorrow. We'll have two White courses and a String-O. Everyone is welcome to come. Registration is open from 10am to 3pm. Additional details at our web site, go.to/LAOC. Happy O Day! Sue J. LAOC Nod'er

ARDF Team USA 2000 Fund
by Marvin 04 May '00

04 May '00

This is part of a message I just received from Joe Moell, K0OV, the ARRL ARDF Co-ordinator. ------------------------------ 3. Contributions are now being accepted for Team USA 2000 expenses. Checks should be made out to "ARRL ARDF Support Fund" and sent to Barry Shelley N1VXY at ARRL Headquarters in Newington. Feel free to solicit your friends, benefactors and local ham radio clubs. Contributions are tax deductible. (Of course this assumes that the donor is not personally limited by IRS maximums, etc.) 4. Rules for disbursements of the funds to the team are still being worked out. By the way, don't get the idea that you can donate the price of your China flight to ARRL and then get the money back from the fund to have a write-off of your trip. I'm sure there is some sort of IRS regulation that prohibits this.

Fw: VIRUS info on "I LOVE YOU" attachment!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!
by Donald L Milbury 04 May '00

04 May '00

FYI 73, Don Milbury, W6YN ---------------------------------------------- This press release comes from F-Secure. For more information on F-Secure's mailing list policy, see end of message. F-SECURE WARNS: LOVE LETTER E-MAIL WORM might exceed Melissa in severity ESPOO, Finland, May 4th, 2000 - F-Secure Corporation (formerly Data Fellows) [HEX: FSC], a leading provider of security for mobile, distributed enterprises, is warning e-mail users of a new destructive e-mail worm called VBS/LoveLetter. This worm spreads by e-mailing a file called LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs around. F-Secure Anti-Virus detects and disinfects the virus, with the latest update available from www.F-Secure.com . "This worm spreads at an amazing speed", comments Mikko Hypponen, Manager of Anti-Virus Research at F-Secure Corporation. "We got the first report around 9:00 a.m. on Thursday from Norway, and by 1 p.m. we had reports from over 20 countries. We estimate that total number of infected machines is already in tens of thousands. This epidemic might exceed Melissa in both speed and destructiveness." The LoveLetter worm activates by overwriting picture and music files from the local and network drives. Files with extension JPG, JPEG, MP3 and MP2 are overwritten and will have to be restored from backups. The worm arrives to users in e-mail message attachments called LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs. On a default Windows system, the ".vbs" extension is not visible, and users might mistake the file for a harmless text file (.TXT). If the recipient opens the attachment, the worm will use Microsoft Outlook (if installed) to send a message to everyone in any address books (including global access books of the organization these typically contains hundreds or thousands of addresses). The messages is as follows: From: Name-of-the-infected-user To: Random-name-from-the-address-book Subject: ILOVEYOU kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me. Attachment: LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs As address books typically contain group addresses, the result of executing the VBS/LoveLetter worm inside an organization is that the first infected user sends the message to everybody in the organization. After this, other users open the message and send the message again to everyone else. This quickly overloads e-mail servers. In addition to spreading over e-mail, the worm also overwrites existing local script and HTML files with its own code. The worm was most likely written in the Philippines. It was first spotted in early morning, Thursday May 4. It contains the following text: barok -loveletter(vbe) <i hate go to school> by: spyder / ispyder(a)mail.com / @GRAMMERSoft Group / Manila,Philippines VBS/LoveLetter is written in the VBScript language. By default, programs written in VBScript operate only under Windows 98 and Windows 2000. However, Windows 95 and NT 4 users are also vulnerable, if they have installed version 5 of Microsoft Internet Explorer. A technical description of the virus is available in the F-Secure virus description database at: http://www.F-Secure.com/v-descs/love.htm Sample pictures of e-mail messages generated by VBS/LoveLetter are available in the F-Secure virus screenshots center at: http://www.F-Secure.com/virus-info/v-pics/ About F-Secure Corporation F-Secure Corporation is a leading developer of centrally managed security solutions for the mobile, distributed enterprise.
