Titolo: [OT] Sul presunto virus "Join the crew"

Come preannunciato nel mio post di risposta a totonasti, eccovi quanto
riporta il Symantec AntiVirus Research Center sul virus "Join the
Crew", segnalato da amoralolos nel suo post del 20/11 - 10:48.
(originale su: 
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jtch.html
)
Sottolineo di controllare il "Form 5", perché credo sia proprio la
mail in cui si è imbattuto amoralolos.

Join the Crew
Aliases:  Hoax  
Infection length:  Hoax  
Area of infection:  Hoax  
Likelihood:  Hoax  
Region reported:  Online  
Characteristics:  Hoax  
Target platform:  Hoax  
Trigger date:  Hoax  
 
Description: 
Join the Crew is not a virus. It is a hoax. The "virus" does not
exist. There is currently no virus that has the characteristics
ascribed to "Join the Crew." It is a sham, meant only to panic new or
inexperienced computer users. 
The hoax message includes the following "warning" seen in multiple
forms:
Form 1 
If you ever get an e-mail titled "JOIN THE CREW", do not open it
because it will wipe everything on your hard disk. This is the newest
virus not many people know about it. So e-mail it to everyone you
know!!!!!! 
Form 2 
Please do not open up any mail that has this title. It will erase your
whole hard drive. This is a new e-mail virus and not a lot of people
know about it, just let everyone know, so they won't be a victim.
Please forward this e-mail to you friends!!! Remember the title: JOIN
THE CREW 
Form 3 
We have just had notice of an E:Mail virus doing the rounds.
Apparently the virus is so new most virus checkers do not recognise
it. If you receive an E:Mail titled 'JOIN THE CREW' do not open it as
it will: 
1. Delete your hard-disk 
2. Delete your E:Mail directories 
3. The nastiest part is that before deleting your E:Mail directories
it copies the message/virus and forwards it to everyone on your
directory 
If your techies haven't already warned you it might be worth letting
your colleagues know. 
Form 4 
VIRUS WARNING !!!!!!!
If you receive an email titled "JOIN THE CREW" DO NOT open it. It will
erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter out to as
many people as you can. This is a new, very 
malicious virus and not many people know about it. This information
was announced yesterday morning from IBM; please share it with
everyone that might access the internet. Once again, pass this along
to EVERYONE in your address book so that this may be stopped. Also, do
not open or even look at any mail that says "RETURNED OR UNABLE TO
DELIVER." This virus will attach itself to your computer components
and render them useless. Immediately delete any mail items that say
this. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there
is NO remedy for it at this time. Please practice cautionary measures
and forward this to all your online friends ASAP.
Please ignore any messages regarding this "virus" and do not pass on
any messages regarding it. Passing on messages about this hoax serves
only to further propagate it. 
Form 5
VIRUS ALERT!!!!! ZEER BELANGRIJK !!!!
if you receive an e-mail titiled..JOIN THE CREW/for PENPALS, DO NOT
open it! It will erase EVERYTHING on your hard drive! 
Send this letter out to as many people as you can. This is a new virus
and not many people know about it!
This information was received this morning by IBM, Please share it
with anyone that might acccess the internet!! 
PENPAL appears to be a friendly letter asking you if you are
interested in a penpal, but by the time you read this letter it is TOO
late. 
The Trojan horse virus will have already infected the boot sector of
your hard drive, destroying all the data present. It is a
self-replicating virus, and once the message is read it will
AUTOMATICALLY forward itself to anyone who's e-mail address is present
in your box! This virus will destroy your hard drive and whose mail is
in your box and whose mail is in their box and so on and on! 
So delete any message titled PENPAL or JOIN THE CREW. This virus can
do major DAMAGE to worldwide networks!
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND PEOPLE IN YOUR
MAILBOXES. 
AOL HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIRUS AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR
THIS.
FORWARD IT TO ALL YOUR ON-LINE FRIENDS A.S.A.P.! 
Please ignore any messages regarding this "virus" and do not pass on
any messages regarding it. Passing on messages about this hoax serves
only to further propagate it.

Grazie Tom. Io già ci capisco poco di queste cose e sapere che posso stare
tranquillo è una consolazione.
