Dark Knight 0 Posted September 16, 2003 log off MSN between 21.00 - 23.00 because of the new "pacman" virus which attack everyone on MSN and steal Passwords, CD-keys, and makes the system unstabel. Send it forward to all on your MSN list cause if it hit one on your list it will attack you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jester983 0 Posted September 16, 2003 Well i hardly use MSN. but is there a link where MSN talks about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milkman 1 Posted September 17, 2003 It seems like there has been an increase in attacks by hackers, viruses, and worms recently... Maybe a connection to something bigger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidcrash 0 Posted September 17, 2003 they just seem to be getting more publicity than they used to was this real or fake though? as i heard several people saying it was another hoax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supah 0 Posted September 17, 2003 Yeah just like the "We are checking if your hotmail account is still active so forward this to 100000 other users" emails .... suuuuure like Microsoft cant tell that by looking at login dates. I wouldnt get my panties in a twist over this gentlemen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted September 17, 2003 Never believe a virus warning without a link to one of the official internet security sites. Everyone can tell bs like "THEY[TM] will delete your harddrive if play ofp between march and october this year." If the thread is real then there will be warning on security mailing lists and sites.

Milkman 1 Posted September 17, 2003 I just realized this, but the exact thing happened to AIM users. Someone got an email saying that AOL wold delete all dormat accounts, and to forward this message to 10 friends through an AIM messge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted September 17, 2003 Nothing happened to me... I stayed on all evening (yes, the right timezone) and nothing seemed to be going wrong. I ignored the warning the first time anyway. Simple logic...I don't anybody would actually know a virus going to attack before it has actually attacked...unless it's some crazy hacker who goes "Hi, at 22-23:00 CET I will release a virus. Goodbye." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waffendennis 0 Posted September 17, 2003 yep just a stupid lame hoax (again) but i am getting sick of it inlcuding with the chain letter mails... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Knight 0 Posted September 17, 2003 tbh wat would u rather have a warning or the desaster.. no matter wat way u see it u will still be unhappy ether coz it was a warning for nothing or coz u were never informed i take any thing like this seriously as u never no when the big one will hit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted September 17, 2003 I get my warning from sources that are trustworthy, false warnings help noone. One should take such things seriously. But only the exisiting ones, not the imagined ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
