- Purpose
- -------
-
- The Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (CERT/CC)
- would like to announce the creation of an archive service for computer
- security related clippings. This archive will be a central repository
- for selected security related Usenet News and mailing list postings.
- The archive will not be restricted to any one newsgroup or mailing
- list.
-
- The purpose of this archive is to provide security information without
- the unrelated discussions. It will also provide information from
- newsgroups not available to some sites.
-
- This archive is being maintained through the help of volunteers.
- Additional volunteer news clippers are required.
-
