1) Message boards : Number crunching : Trojan boinc installation by rogue member (Message 27002) Posted 22 Feb 2007 by old_user391483 Post: Hi All, Scott Brown wrote,- \"On another note, for grant funded projects, I hope that staff are reporting this incident to their Principal Investigators. In many cases, grant funding organizations (especially government agencies) require the reporting of such illegal activities to at least the funding agency if not to the appropriate law enforcement organizations, regardless of whether or not the project itself is at fault or if prosecution will be pursued.\" End of quote. Any answer to this, does there not have to be an answer... As Dagorath says, \"CPDN\'s behavior so far tells imitators there won\'t be any real punishment so go ahead and give it a shot.\" He continues, \"earlier indications that CPDN (or at least its moderators) feel reporting this incident to police would be a waste of time.\" End of quote. No, it would not. I like many here, and those recently from the BBC \"creche\" as well, do not have that much computer knowledge. Or time to learn enough, quickly enough, to be sure I can not fall for, or be damaged by (my computer that is) \"people\" like this one. We would appreciate some action against this \"person\", if for no other reasons than, 1) To discourage other future \"Wates\". 2) Reassure us of the project\'s support and defence of it\'s crunchers.. (I believe you have stopped many previous attempts, at various types of attack, but this one \"got through\", so it is different.)
