█ D'Bridge EMAIL System █
Copyright (c) by Nick J. Andre, Ltd.

VERSION 3.99 - SERVICE RELEASE 19 - FEBRUARY 8 2018 ---------------------------------------------------

*** URGENT ***

Recently, a serious security vulnerability and fundimental design flaw in D'Bridge was privately disclosed, affecting ALL versions; even going back
to the very first ones.

This update specifically fixes this design flaw and vulnerability. THIS IS
AN URGENT UPDATE - I strongly suggest backing up your system and
installing this update ASAP.

The exact detail of the problem will not be disclosed publically in order
to avoid unfair and unnecessary "sky is falling" discussions; almost always started by non-D'Bridge people with no life outside of Fidonet.

AGAIN - THIS IS AN URGENT UPDATE FOR ALL D'BRIDGE SYSTEMS.

I WILL NOT PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR UNPATCHED SYSTEMS.

PERIOD.

Thank you,

Nick Andre

I have to wonder the same about ham radio operators checking into
nets, who seem to have no life outside of said hobby. Now, while you and
I are both ham radio operators and Sysops, we know the meaning of
"priorities". :)
