Y2K Trojan Horse penetrates military
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (UPI) - The U.S. military in Europe is warning
its personnel that a new Internet "trojan horse" is on the loose in
electronic mail, masquerading as a Year 2000 countdown clock sponsored
by software giant Microsoft. If the clock is installed, it also installs
an executable file that copies usernames, passwords, login IDs and can
read all data sent or received over the Internet.
