RE: UKNM: Love bug bust

[Bill Thompson]

You're all assuming that writing the Love Letter took talent/brilliance.

Seems to be that

the people behind it were just competent programmers (using the features

that Microsoft

so kindly provided). The *clever* part was the social engineering (a love

letter from

a friend) that persuaded so many people to open the attachment. I'd say that

they belong

in the marketing department of a struggling ecatalogue venture that

desperately needs

to improve sales.  Anyone know if boo.com have a Manila office?

Not yet, but they will be. If the FBI don't get 'em first.
