Florida state issued a "VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THIS" computer hacking crime alert. It emailed to employees Sunday what Microsoft and Norton had issued.
The following is a copy of the alert:
VERY IMPORTANT , PLEASE READ THIS
Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on.
This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and
Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has Access to the
Internet.
You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled 'Mail
Server Report' If you open either file, a message will appear on your
screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer
beautiful....'
Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC, And the person who
sent it to you will gain access to your Name, e-mail and password.
This is a ne w virus which started to circulate on Saturday
afternoon.
AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus
software's are not capable of destroying it.
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'.
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them
to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!
THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.
