         Were YOU hit by the November Internet Virus?

                      The FBI wants to hear from you!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is attempting to gather critical

information necessary to pursue this case under the Computer Fraud and

Abuse Act of 1986.  (This is the statute that makes it a federal crime

to penetrate a computer owned by or run on the behalf of the Government.)

The FBI Case Agent has asked the Defense Data Network Project Management

Office to collect the names of organizations and Points of Contact (names

and phone numbers) that were hit by the Virus.  The Defense Communications

Agency has established an E-Mail address for this collection at:

                       INFO-VACC [at] BEAST.DDN.MIL

    Points of Contact should expect to be contacted by their local FBI

    agents for dispositions due to the wide geographical area involved.

                     I * M * P * O * R * T * A * N * T

            The FBI needs this information to pursue the case.

      If we expect their aid in the future, we need to help them now.

PLEASE GIVE THIS MESSAGE MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION; NOT EVERYONE IS ON "TCP-IP"!
