  • 1.  Wobbler virus - a hoax -

    Posted 08-06-1999 12:17
    To the net - just today I received from one of our college net
    administrators a warning about the Wobbler virus, supposedly contained in
    a message titled California.

    My memory tells me that this warning was promulgated sometime in the last
    few weeks, and that it was quickly denounced as another hoax by others who
    had knew how to check out the various virus warnings.

    Does anyone know the real situation, or still have in their mail the
    messages involved so that I can reply internally?

    Thanks, Tim Edlund, Morgan State Univ.
