Tom Jennings, founder of FidoNet, a non-commercial network of Bulletin board Systems using his own Fido BBS software, publishes FidoNews issue number one, an electronic newsletter with information and news about Fido and FidoNet. It will continue to be publish once a week for five and a half years. At its peak, FidoNews has a readship of several thousand. In his first issue, Jennings explains the format of the newsletter, indicates he would like to make some FidoNet bumper stickers and asks that someone else immediately step into his position as editor.
FidoNewsFidoNet to the International FidoNet Association (IFNA) has closed. He calls for everyone involved on both sides of the issue to bury the hatchet. The referendum resulted from network-wide rumblings that the IFNA, which was founded at the urging of Ken Kaplan to deal with the day to day drudgery of running the network, was “stealing FidoNet.” Jennings himself refuted the notion, but many Sysops were left with hard feelings over the new policies cropping up. On January 1, 1990 the results of the referendum will be announced. The motion fails, with 480 in favor and 1417 opposed.

The Pentagone or “Goner” e-mail worm is identified by anti-virus experts at McAfee. Goner spreads primarily through Microsoft Outlook, by sending itself to all the entries contained in the Outlook address book, via an e-mail message, with the subject, “Hi.” In the body of the e-mail is the message, “How are you? When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!” and the attachment “GONE.SCR.” Once the attachment is opened, the hybrid virus attempts seeks out and terminates processes involved in the operation of popular anti-virus and firewall software, then the worm proceeds to deletes all the files in the directory and all subdirectories where the file from which the task was killed is located. If deletions fail, the worm creates a Windows registry key that reactivates the virus upon the startup of the infected computer. The virus also spreads via ICQ file transfers. Despite it’s relatively unsophisticated approach, the Goner virus will prove to be incredibly effective, causing an estimated US$80 million dollars of damage in western nations. In August of 2002, five young Israeli boys will be accused of writing and disseminating the virus. Four of the boys are in the tenth and eleventh grade, while the fifth is an eighth grader. Officials finally track down the four of the five youths by comparing the web handles with which the virus code had been tagged with IP addresses that had registered the same handles on the DALnet (the IRC network.) The fifth teen will be arrested after questioning the first four.
