Wobbler Hoax
AVERT HOAX Notice!!
NAI Labs AVERT would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.
This email message is just a HOAX, currently we know of no other message
that the user will receive about the HOAX as the initial email states. AVERT
has not received any report of a user’s hard drive being erased for opening
the email.
We are advising users who receive the email to delete it and DO NOT pass it
on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.
Below is the actual text from the message that may be received via email.
Thought you might be interested in this message. If you receive an email
with a file called "California" do not open the file. The file contains the
"WOBBLER" virus.
This information was announced yesterday morning by IBM. The report says
that ... "This is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa" and
there is NO remedy for it at this time. Some very sick individual has
succeeded in using the reformat function from Norton Utilities causing it to
completely erase all documents on the hard drive. It has been designed to
work with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It destroys
Macintosh and IBM compatible computers. This is a new, very malicious virus
and not many people know about it at this time.
Please pass this warning to everyone in your address book and share it with
all your online friends ASAP so that the destruction it can cause may be
minimized."

Dan is er nog een algemeen geldende regel betrefende hoaxes:
Mensen die hoaxes maken, zouden eigenlijk virussen willen maken, maar hebben
daarvoor de kennis niet in huis.
Ze hebben het in die mailtjes over IBM en/of Microsoft, terwijl bekend is
dat deze firma's per definitie niet aan virus-meldingen doen.
Wanneer je dus een mailtje krijgt, en daar wordt in geschermd met firma's
als Microsoft en IBM, dan kun je gevoegelijk aannemen dat het een hoax is.
De lieden die hoaxes maken hebben de klok horen luiden maar weten niet waar
de klepel hangt. Ze kennen over het algemeen ook maar 2
computerbedrijven..... je raadt het al IBM en Microsoft.
Zielig, of niet soms?
