Re: Security Issue
The article I saw was written by John Breeden of the Washington Post.
The article appeared in the Abq Journal, 7/28/98, page B-6.
In a section 'What Viruses Aren't' he said: "The first rule of virus
behavior is that the virus warning you got in your e-mail - you know,
the panicked message urging you to FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU
KNOW!!!-is most likely utter nonsense. All of these virus hoaxes take
basically the same form....The actual killer e-mail never exists -
because no such thing is possible. Viruses cannot launch themselves out
of plain e-mail text. Period. ..."
I am glad to receive your message that indeed this article is not
factual. Is it totally wrong or is the virus in an attachment rather
than in the mail itself??
Thanks
