WARNING

The following material may be

INFECTIOUS!

By the time you read these words, computer virus-related diseases will have infected more than a million computers from PCs to giant mainframes, causing everything from minor annoyance to the crashing and burning of entire systems.

Your bank account, millions of daily transactions on Wall Street, credit-card accounts totalling billions of dollars, airline reservations affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers daily, even the programmed instructions of American nuclear missiles—all are potentially at the mercy of criminals, secret agents, terrorists, or even malicious pranksters who know how to access the systems and inject their own deadly “computer virus.”

What do we do? Who do we call to protect our computer resources?
