Sircam releases govt docs in Ukraine
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010802/wr/tech_ukraine_virus_dc_1.html Thursday August 2 6:57 AM ET Website Says Virus Leaked Ukrainian Secret Documents KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) - A Ukrainian Web site said on Thursday it had received secret documents from the administration of President Leonid Kuchma due to a computer virus that infected government computers and e-mailed it the files. ``The Sircam virus, having infected the computers in the presidential administration, is bombarding our editorial department with their documents,'' said the ForUm news Web site (www.for-ua.com). Administration officials declined to say whether their security had been breached, but told Reuters they had started an investigation into whether any of their computers were infected with viruses. ForUm printed one of the documents it said it had received -- a timetable for Kuchma's movements on Ukraine's 10th anniversary of independence later this month. Kuchma's exact movements are usually a tightly guarded secret. The Sircam virus, which first emerged in July, is a so-called e-mail worm which arrives as an e-mail attachment and sends copies of itself to names and addresses in the infected computer's address book. ----- Tim, you don't write Ukrainian, do you?
