RE: Subj: ALERT VIRUS 'HI' Date: 12/10/01 9:08:53 AM Eastern Standard Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (KOROM - Mancini) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please stop the sender named "carl Beck" with the "Hi" objet !!! The mail is infected by a very serious VIRUS !!! Philippe " Remember, most viri today just snatch content (just fields w/"@" char) of MSWindoze Address book @ ea. site, and then (re)send (only) itself to all those entries/sites (how hard could that be! Once "in".). If u appear in more that one persons address book, u get at least that many emails ( there can be a "counter/loop" employed to magnify the "trash his mailbox" effect, that eats disk, tho, despite how many address book entries happen to be u). Then, they/some can cause disk writing to proceed w/"hardware" permission (beyond any perm. list's influence), to write to disk, over any/everything. Boot track/files etc. seem to be a fave tho (faster>me-gone), and thus easily fixable by mega-gurus (find one when u need one!), tho disk wipes (just fire raw full reformat and scram, since u have that perm. level) can teach u a lot about disaster planning. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! The home WILL be seized and auctioned off (no, they won't give you the money it sold for). Regards, Jim Cunningham P.S. Get it? Why do so many attacks spring from windozes? IMHO OF COURSE!!!!; the many times they have to deal w/the legacy code of their first approach to, for example, email (well, I think they actually "aquired" it, re: the DOJ lawsuit stuff; the refs. to waaaay back activities), and the way they deal with same. What auto body shop can fix a major/max. insurance co. crash write-off so it NEVER shows ANY effect of what the (re)build was based((/re)built on? For "the record"; none of the above is true. This "written" instrument is purely for global email lists testing, only/strictly.
