The diskette contains a highly destructive Trojan Horse. The Chase Manhattan Bank and ICL Computers were the first to report problems with the software. Systems that ran the enclosed programs had all data on the hard disks destroyed. Hundreds of systems were affected. Other reports have come in from user groups, small businesses and individuals with similar problems. The professionally prepared documentation that comes with the diskette purports that the software provides a data base of AIDS information. The flyer heading reads - "AIDS Information - An Introductory Diskette". If the software is installed using the included INSTALL program, the first thing that the program does is print out an invoice for the software. Then, after the system is re-booted a random number of times the system self destructs. Whoever has perpetrated this monstrosity has gone to a great deal of time, and more expense, and they have clearly perpetrated the largest single targeting of destructive code yet reported. The mailings are professionally done, and the style of the mailing labels indicate the lists were purchased from professional mailing organizations. The estimated costs for printing, diskette, label and mailing is over $3.00 per package. The volume of reports imply that many thousands may have been mailed. In addition, the British magazine "PC Business World" has included a copy of the diskette with its most recent publication - another expensive avenue of distribution. The only indication of who the perpetrator(s) may be is the address on the invoice to which they ask that $378.00 be mailed: PC Cyborg Corporation P.O. Box 871744 Panama 7, Panama Needless to say, a check for a registered PC Cyborg Corporation in Panama turned up negative.

Kernal and the 1581. A database with a couple thousand records .. you SURE you want that in the REU? One power flicker and all your data turns into vapor. ------------ ************ Topic 11 Wed Oct 18, 1989 E.COOK2 at 03:17 CDT Sub: Color64 BBS? Does the Color64 BBS address the Sfd-1001 disk drives? Also ,I need the address for it. 5 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 11 Message 5 Mon Dec 18, 1989 DAZED at 19:25 EST I would recommend that you obtain the new Color released version of Vision Color BBS v1.0 from kerry Messana at 1-315-342-3209===Data His voice number is 1-315-342-1237 I myself have the new Color Version now but will put it up next year. Don't have time now. It does support SFD's and 1541's but the best bet is to run off of a Lt.Kernal Hard drive which I do. Also the interface which plugs into the cartridge port is crucial to making any BBS work with a particular drive. Also there are some future releases of the same type interface that kill off the operation of the BBS whereby the older releases of the same interface hardware/dos/chips let everything work fine. MY recommendation having used 1541's/SFD's/LT Kernal 40 meg is to get a LT Kernal and dump all the other 3rd party hard drives/SFD's/ etc. except obviously the 1541's. In fact I am using SFD's to just back up the LT.Kernal. Thus-you essentially have 3 problems. Does the BBS Dos work with the drive and the computer. In other words you may have serious "Contention" problems between all these items. ------------ ************ Topic 16 Mon Dec 18, 1989 DAZED at 19:28 EST Sub: Does Pratical Modem 2400SA work (C-64) I have heard rumors from Sysops that the PM 2400SA modem doesn't work with the C-64/128.
