What? Someone forged a cancel and a new message from Allesandro? To spread
a Trojan horse?

What are these "well known malicious *.ru sites" I have heard little about?
What is special about a *.ru site anyways -- are they domain names that are
cheap and easy for irresponsible net users to get for their boxes and to
keep after using them for irresponsible purposes?

I am happy, but I was puzzled since I saw no malicious Trojan horse in the
