[comp.virus] magazine with virus infected frontcover disk

ry15@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Christoph Fischer) (11/17/90)

A major incident with a German computer magazine happend!
name: DOS-TREND
publisher: Pearl-Agency
issue : 10/11
Some of the disks on the front cover seem to be infected with STONED II
I will get a sample on monday!
We had several people call our hotline complaining about this problem.
Sofar I suspect that this is another copy-shop problem (in this case
usually 10 to 12 percent of the production volume is infected)
Since the magazine has a total volume of 100000 the number of infected
disks can very well be 10 to 12 thousand!
More as soon as get a sample!
