		ROGUE PROGRAM RUNNING
		AMOK IN COMPUTER NET

		  NEW YORK - A rogue computer
		program that steals electronic documents,
		user passwords and erases files has been
		winding its way through a nationwide
		computer network previously plagued in
		1988, according to a published report.
		  The New York Timesreports in today's
		editions that a computer hacker has devised
		a program that infiltrated corporations,
		non-classified military installations,
		government laboratories and several
		universities.  Government computer security
		teams have been unable to trace the source
		of the illegal program.
		  The computer network is Internet, a
		worldwide collection of computer systems
		that links corporations, government projects
		and universities together.  Unidentified 
		investigators told the Times that the latest
		hacker has entered dozens of systems,
		including those of Los Alamos National
		Laboratory, Digital Equipment Corporation,
		Harvard University, Boston University and
		the University of Texas.
