 | | Concerns about intruders attacking Pitt's Internet computer network, and the machines attached to it, through IP spoofing or terminal hijacking have surfaced at the University since an article on the method appeared in the Jan. 23 issue of The New York Times. |
 | | IP spoofing makes use of a flaw in the design of the network to fool router computers into believing that a message is coming from a trusted source such as a member of the University community with a CIS account. |
 | | As of October 1994, according to CIS's Carpenter, the Internet is connected to more than 3.9 million hosts and 56,000 domains such as universities, businesses and government agencies around the world, which means the break-ins have been very, very few compared to the number of computers connected to the network. |
