I received the following via the DESQview echo on Fidonet. Ralf From: Don Reid To: All Subject: TROJAN WARNING Date: 28 Oct 90 15:37:00 I am passing the following message on for your consideration. ======================================================================== Date: 10-22-90 (10:10) Number: 10260 Patriquin's BB To: ALL Refer#: NONE From: KIM MARTIN Read: YES Subj: NEW TROJAN DETECTED !! Conf: (0) Main Board ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Telecommunicators, I recently received a file called SCANV70.ZIP on The Library! BBS. This file contains a trojan that is not detectable by the current version of McAffees Scan program (SCANV67C.ZIP). This trojan will take out your entire file system. I verified with McAffees bulletin board that the most current scan was SCANV67C.ZIP. The next available release will not be out until mid-november according to his board. I also, verified that SCANV70.ZIP contained a trojan and that he is aware of it. Please avoid using SCANV70 or passing it around as there is no defense for it. The file was uploaded under a false logon. I've talked to the person whose name it was uploaded in and he swears it wasn't him. (People, please change your passwords and make them unique by bbs.)
