There was a good article in the San Jose Mercury News which
covered both events, but made it pretty clear that experts
such as some guy from the FBI didn't think there was any real
connection between them. Only important thing the article
missed, IMHO, is that there's already new software out which
wasn't as susceptible to Kashpureff's idiotic stunt.
