[News] ILOVEYOU virus... ANN.lu Posted on 04-May-2000 20:37 GMT by Christian Kemp 23 comments View flat View list The media is being saturated with news reports on the latest "trojan" that spreads like crazy via some Windows-based mail software. Rather than repeating what has been said a thousand times elsewhere, I'll just comment on the fact that even Amigan professionals don't seem to be too secure (respectively, using the wrong software or not enough common sense)... I received a few copies of the message today. :) List of all comments to this article Sorted by date, most recent at bottom Comment 1 cybes 03-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 2 NEO 03-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 3 Heimdal Graus 03-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 4 [Lotus] 03-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 5 anon (for safety !) 03-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 6 Nathaniel Downes 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 7 Rebbi 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 8 bbuilder 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 9 Tor Anders 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 10 Mark Olsen 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 11 bbuilder 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 12 cybes 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 13 Lonely 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 14 i_luv_peecee 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 15 colin wilson 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 16 Roj 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 17 Rick Riebs 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 18 MAS 05-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 19 Anonymous 05-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 20 [Lotus] 06-May-2000 22:00 GMT Comment 21 SirRUSH 07-May-2000 22:00 GMT ILOVEYOU virus... : Comment 22 of 23 ANN.lu Posted by Spooky on 13-May-2000 22:00 GMT In reply to Comment 21 (SirRUSH): The reason the Amiga has so few viruses these days is because it's practically dead. Why would anyone bother writing a virus for a computer whose latest OS release didn't even sell 50,000 copies? Wow, worldwide, that's a bit of a fizzler isn't it? That would mean that the Amiga population is smaller than the number of people in my city (65,000). I know a lot of Amiga owners are feeling very smug because the ILOVEYOU virus can't touch their computer, but so what? The Amiga has an outdated OS, outdated software, and minimal support. Anyone who thinks the Amiga is going to blow away the PC is deluded, because first it has years of catching up to do. I'm not holding my breath.
