   I don't understand what you are talking about. There is no known
service on zoy.org that is vulnerable to hackers, lastmeasure is a prank
site that is admittedly of questionable taste but definitely not "viral",
and if there is one thing a sysadmin should rightfully complain about,
it's uninvited port scans on their machines.

   Do you have any evidence of this? Last I heard "timecop" was only
trying to avenge his wife by traveling into time.

Kind regards,
