It hit worldwide today (including NASA)... our hospital and the medical school both got hit.
The subject heading is "Here you have" and it will be "from" someone you know

1. I doubt it affects Linux, just fyi. n/t

6. Or any mainframes

Which, by the way, still, and always, rule.

The punctuation on that one is a toss up.

13. LOL "The punctuation on that one is a toss up." Yep, that's a good one for

punctuation. :rofl: A text book head scratcher for punctuation rules.

2. We got hit today.

As soon as I got the first one, I went office to office telling folks not to open any of them. Sadly, I didn't get to one office fast enough. csrss.exe is where this one is hiding by the looks of it on that terminal.

3. Every once and a while I ask myself why I even bother with the Internet. nt

4. For DU, of course. n/t

[Rage for Order]

5. People who create and/or knowingly propogate viruses (virii?)...

...are anti-social dickwads who should be sentenced to 1 week in jail for every computer their masturbatory bullshit program infects. With no possibility of parole.

14. +1

for real tho.

7. I'm a conspiracy guy on this to a degree

I think some of the big AV companies have people about that create/issue viruses at times. Provide the problem and solution.

Hopefully the anti virus people will deal with it.

9. thanks again for the 'heads up'

and we did experience a hiccup in network activity during work hours today, but the thing never landed in my inbox...neither my work email or personal...that's unusual.

10. Thanks

for that.

11. I got hit twice this week!

Geez

[Hekate]

12. TY for the heads up. Fortunately I'm a Mac user; plus I never open "free offers"...

... especially of sex videos :eyes: Spam claiming to have documents for me is also routinely trashed; the only thing I made an error on was a recent Amazon.com phish, which I opened because I actually do order from Amazon.

I will send the article to Mr Hekate, because he uses them in his classroom where he teaches future programmers and network admins.
