Please note the following from the CIAC (U. S. Department of Engergy
Computer Incident Advisory Capability):
Join the Crew
Circulating the Internet is an email message entitled "Join the Crew". For
a virus to spread, it must be executed. Reading a mail message does not
execute the mail message. Trojans and viruses have been found as executable
attachments to mail messages, but they must be extracted and executed to do
any harm. CIAC still affirms that reading E-mail, using typical mail
agents, can not activate malicious code delivered in or with the message.
IMPORTANT - VIRUS Alert!!!
Take note !
Someone got an email, titled as JOIN THE CREW.
It has erased his hard drive.
Do not open up any mail that has this title.
It will erase your whole hard drive.
This is a new email virus and not a lot of people know about it,
just let everyone know, so they won't be a victim.
Please e-mail this to everyone you know!!!
Remember the title : JOIN THE CREW
Variants of this email message are circulating the Internet. If you receive
an email message entitled "Join the Crew" and it has an attachment, CIAC
recommends that you delete the message and the attachment. If you receive
just the message, delete the message. Please DO NOT circulate unvalidated
virus alerts.
