RE: Y2K trojans, and outsourcing...

["Shappard, Richard, A (Rich)" <rashappard () att com>]

The only Trojans that the reporters at NBC know anything about come in foil
packages.  If you rely on the lamestream media for your technology news
you're in deep trouble.

Did they happen to provide any references to this rumor?

                The national news for NBC ran an interesting topic tonight;

                Estimating that some company/industry faces a loss potential
of a billion
                or more at least, due to a backdooring trojan inserted by
one or more
                consultants brought in to fix the Y2K problem...

                Thanks,

                Ron DuFresne
