News Groups

News Groups

News groups are an adaptation of the old BBS message areas and can
trace their origins to inter-BBS message groups like FidoNet. Just like
their predecessors, the newsgroups contain a wealth of both legal and
illegal information including the latest news, exploit code and
commercial applications. An advantage of utilising newsgroups is the
availability of past messages, some repositories containing over 5 years
worth of articles.
