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