ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Another member of ISEN-ASTC-L has received an e-mail message with a virus
infected attachment from my AOL account, which I use to receive messages from the
ListServ.

Given that neither of my computers has the other member in the address book
and that both computers check-out virus-free (at least for known viruses), and
given that the only electronic connection that we have is ISEN-ASTC-L, I am
wondering...

- Have other members received such virus carrying messages from ChasStout@aol?

- Have other members received such messages from anyone else on from
ISEN-ASTC-L?

- Could the list have been attacked?

- Since this issue (and identity theft more broadly) is apparently a big and
growing part of communication technology, doesn't this present a useful topic
for an interactive exhibit or website activity?
