Yes. It's always worth checking these things at
<http://www.kumite.com/myths>
which has lots of hoax info and some excellent links.
Most of the major vendors have hoax information. One of the most
reliable is
<http://www.datafellows.com/>
CERT and CIAC have info on hoaxes, chain letters etc., some of which
is pretty sound.
You might want to try <www.av.ibm.com>, too.
