Bugtraq was created on Friday the 5th of November, 1993 by Scott Chasin. In the beginning, the mailing list was not moderated, however the signal-to-noise ratio became unacceptably bad. It was moderated on the 5th of June, 1995.
The mailing list was moderated by [Elias Levy]? a.k.a Aleph One from the 14th of May 1996, until he recently stepped down.
