Date: Wed, 25 May 1994 16:55:32 -1000 Subject: ALERT - Internet Virus From: FRANK H POTTER@G6HQTRS@MCAS CHERRY PT Subject: INTERNET VIRUS ALERT! Date: Wednesday, May 25, 1994 7:31:08 EDT ------------------------------------------------------------------ A Virus has been discovered on Internet that is disguised as CD-ROM shareware. Unknown hackers have illegally put the Chinon name on a destructive shareware file and released it on the Internet. This catastrophic virus is named "CD-IT". -- DO NOT DOWNLOAD. IT WILL CORRUPT YOUR HARD DRIVE. The program, allegedly a shareware PC utility that will convert an ordinary CD-ROM drive into a CD-Recordable (CD-R) device, which is technically impossible, instead destroys critical system files on a user's hard drive. The program also immediately crashes the CPU, forces the user to reboot and stays in memory. Widest dissemination is requested. --- Saved internet headers (useful for debugging) >Received: by ucsd.edu; id QAA02785 sendmail 8.6.9/UCSD-2.2-sun via CCMail Fri, >From: [log in to unmask] >Received: by ucsd.edu from university-rel.UCSD.EDU id <CC1384541@CCMail >Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]> >Date: Fri, 10 Jun 1994 16:04:00 -0700 >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Intern
