ost.europa simply.SUPERIOR open.source nn KIEV, Ukraine--A Ukrainian Web site said Thursday it had received secret documents from the administration of President Leonid Kuchma as the result of the SirCam worm infecting government computers and e-mailing 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. 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 received: a timetable for Kuchma's movements on the Ukraine's 10th anniversary of independence later this month. Kuchma's exact movements are usually a tightly guarded secret. The SirCam worm, which first emerged in July, arrives as an e-mail attachment and sends copies of itself to names and addresses in the infected computer's address book. -----Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to post to the Syndicate list: <syndicate@eg-r.isp-eg.de> to unsubscribe, write to <majordomo@eg-r.isp-eg.de>, in the body of the msg: unsubscribe syndicate your@email.adress
