security breached by NaughtyRobot

[Sheryl Dwinell]

has anyone else out there received something from these people. This is the
second time I've gotten this.  Everyone at our University received it.  I
know that our computing center folks are investigating.  I looked on the
web for information, and didn't find any.  Anybody out there know what this
is all about?  I checked out the web site listed below and it seems like
another group of annoying hacker punks.
