FBI Warning Of Latent Computer Virus

[rsewill]

Here's what I did. A few years ago I was getting almost 800 junk e-mails a day from China based IP'S, So I went on a crusade.

I traced back all the original IP addresses and sent e-mails to THAT IP. ...well and others all based in China.

My E-mail all had things in the Subject line like...." FREE THE REPUBLIC" "Overthrow the government NOW" "Protest Wen Jiabao" " No more Communism" ....and a lot more crude and rude comments to the IP addresses.

I would send E-mail that all people should gather on Tiananmen Square for a protest, with specific dates and times.

Almost Overnight the incoming spam went from nearly 800 a day down to less than 50 a day.

I know the China Police Ghosts all incoming e-mails, so by sending revolution e-mails, or freedom e-mails, I knew the Government would shut down whoever received my e-mails.

See two people can play the e-mail game.

LOL, very clever idea.

Even Macs finally have a virus, Flashback. First real virus in 10 years.
