- ========= HACK REPORT =========
-
- Hi! I'm the sysop of Paradise Lost BBS. (414-476-0989) Recently
- someone logged on with a fake account and uploaded a file that claimed to
- "Register WWIV". Upon doing a hex-view of the file, I found a message at
- hex address 174B - 17C2 that said:
-
- " The Punisher has decided that
- it was time for you to re-format
- your hard drive. Sucker!! New Albany kicking Ass!!"
-
- This has lead me to believe that the program will actually format your
- hard drive.
-
- The file was uploaded as "REGWWIV.ZIP" and is 5799 bytes in length. The
- unziped file, "REGWWIV.EXE", is 9172 bytes in length. I scanned the file
- with McAffee's scan 8.9V97 and it found no viruses.
-
- If any sysop encounters a file named "REGWWIV.ZIP","REGWWIV.EXE", or any
- file with description that says it will register WWIV, delete IMMEDIATLY!
-
- This file may not always claim to register a WWIV BBS because there is no
- referance in the file to WWIV at all. So as always, check your files for
- viruses etc! But still have fun!
