[NMLUG] Fwd: UNIX VIRUS - HONOR SYSTEM

[nmlug@swcp.com (Tim Price)]

Interesting!

I've now received this same virus as the Aggie Virus, Dumb Blonde Virus, Española Virus, and now the UNIX Virus. I've heard rumors, however, that it was originally called the China Syndrome (to disguise that fact it was a virus, I'm told). The White House received the China Syndrome which, according to sources, resulted in a hard drive or two containing e-mails under subpoena getting erased!

So now I save honor-system e-mail viruses. You just never know when you might have to justify erasing a hard drive.
