<STRONG>January 17.</STRONG> <A
HREF="../../bio/tsutomu.html">Tsutomu</A> hears from Tom Longstaff, of
<A HREF="http://www.sei.cmu.edu/SEI/programs/cert/">CERT</A>, that there
have been more IP-spoofing breakins. Frustrated by his
inability to convince computer security officials to publicize the
security flaws in the Internet, he calls <A
HREF="../../bio/markoff.html">John Markoff</A>, a <A
HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/"><EM>New York Times</EM></A> reporter, and tells
him about the attack.
<P>
<A HREF="http://www.sdsc.edu/">SDSC</A> receives email from <A
HREF="http://www.rochester.edu">University of Rochester</A> about
break-ins.
<P>
<STRONG>January 19.</STRONG> Marty Stansell-Gamm calls to say that the
<A HREF="http://www.fbi.gov/">FBI</A> will be contacting Tsutomu.
<P>
<STRONG>January 20.</STRONG> Richard Ress, FBI, calls Tsutomu. Andrew
describes the situation to Levord Burns. Markoff agrees with CERT
to postpone publication of the story until Monday.
