Most people have forgotten about the global damage done last year by the
Chernobyl virus. Also called "CIH" and the "spacefiller" virus, milder
variations of Chernobyl continue to hit on the 26th of every month. However,
its most dangerous variant, CIH 1.2, strikes only in April.
Background
The virus was originally discovered back in June 1998 in Taiwan and a global
warning followed soon after. The author, then 24 year-old computer student
Chen Ing-hau, devised one of the most deadly and costly viruses to strike
computer technology.
The virus was so prolific that it infected some 240,000 PC's in South Korea,
600,000 globally, including 1,000 private companies, 200 government and
public organizations, and 300 universities. It was estimated that damage
inflicted by the virus topped $250 million. Students at Boston College
apparently paid no mind to warnings issued by their computer science
department. Outbreaks there were so severe that the school's computer help
desk urged students not to turn their computers back on until April 27th in
hopes of dodging the payload of Chernobyl.
The spread of the virus throughout Asia was exacerbated by the practice of
buying and selling pirated software. This software often has more bugs than
a spring hatch and the use of anti-virus software is less prevalent. That
doesn't mean that big business in the US was totally removed from the
effects of Chernobyl. Datafellows described several incidents that US and
European firms were involved with:
IBM ships a batch of new Aptiva PCs with the CIH virus pre-installed during
March 1999, one month before the virus detonates its payload.
Origin Systems website contained an infected file that related to its
popular Wing Commander game.
As many as three European gaming magazines shipped demo CDs that were
infected. One company went as far as including a note inside telling users
to disinfect their machines after using the CD. A widely distributed version
of Activision's game SiN was also infected. It should be noted that the
infection did not originate at Activision.
Yamaha Shipped an infected version of firmware update software for their
CD-R400 drives.
