[Spooks] BAD Virus --CNN announced--snopes confirms as real

[Jochen Schäfer]

>Hello list memmers,


usually, we don't bring such news, but I think, in this case it is 
necessary to protect our computers in our own interest.

Here is a news from CNN, which I got from a member of our ENIGMA2000 
numbers list. I am also a member of Spooks, and so I will inform you too.


>A new virus has just been discovered that has been
>classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was
>discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys
>Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning
>are stored.
>
>This virus acts in the following manner:
>
>It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your
>list with the title:
>"You've received a Post Card from a Family member".
>As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the
>computer freezes so
>that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+ del
>keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus
>permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this
>virus caused panic in New York , according to news broadcast by CNN.
>This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft
>itself.
>So don't open any mails with subject: "A Post Card
>from ....." As soon as you get the mail, delete it !! Even if you know the
>sender !!!
>Please pass this mail to all of your friends.

Best regards
