Porn Computer Virus Hits Washington, D.C. Television Station |
WASHINGTON, D.C.—A computer virus that should never have been activated in the first place has reportedly been causing havoc at a television station in the nation's capital, according to dcrtv.com, which reported earlier today, "We're told that Channel 7/WJLA network technology manager David Van Veen has been sending urgent messages for about 12 hours as a massive 'pornographic' computer virus continues to cripple many computers and editing devices in the Allbritton station's newsroom." In a memo to the staff, Van Veev advised, "We cannot stress enough how important it is that we all be extremely diligent when accessing any of the shared drives. We've had another instance of this virus being passed along. If you feel you may have contracted this virus please turn your computer off and let us know... To prevent a future occurrence, if you see something like porn.exe or sexy.exe or any other .exe files on [various] drives DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING" Well, duh.
