Still curious - is this Calculator shorthand for 'Leet' or 'Elite'
among the script-kiddies? Exactly how does it translate, even with
mis-spellings?
subject "pgp has been cracked, run this command to see how" .. the
command being, on pine "pipe the attached script to shell and then
execute it". Of course, the attached script just happened to be a
rootkit ...
It still wouldn't get installed unless the guy was root or typed
in the root password, would it? (Unless, of course, there were
holes in pine and sh. Unlikely now, because both have been around for
a long time).
