Guest Nellie2 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 SoBig F, which caused chaos globally last week, is the sixth version of the worm, although only that variant and SoBig A are still infecting PCs.While the latest SoBig worm will automatically stop infecting machines on 10 September a new variant, which may also attempt to get infected machines to download code, is probably on the way after SoBig F self-destructs, predicted a Sophos spokeswoman.Read the full article here.Scource Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 RedhatIs this true....?If you receive an email entitled "Sobig Z", delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do notopen it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty.It will erase everything on your hard drive, it will also delete anything ondisks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the strips on ALL ofyour credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up thetracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD'syou attempt to play. It will program your phone auto-dial to call only 900numbers.This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING.It will drink ALL your beer.FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING??It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expectingcompany. It will replace your shampoo with Nair hair-removing cream and yourNair with Rogaine, all the while dating your current boy / girlfriend behindyour back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passivetense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change theinterpretations of key sentences.If the "Sobig Z" message is opened in a Windows environment, it willleave the toilet seat up and not only remove the forbidden tags from yourmattresses and pillows, It will also refill your skimmed milk with wholemilk.********* WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN ********And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds you'll pass wind so hardthat your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of you,sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you.
