Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the isnt-that-special dept.

kylus writes "Wired is running a story about the continued escapades of the Klez virus, and the damage--both to finances and reputations--that it is leaving behind. Between emails from a dead friend and porno spam appearing to be sent from a priest, I think "Don't Believe the 'From' Line" is the correct lesson." God bless microsoft email viruses. I'm on a modem for a few weeks and downloading countless megs of mail viruses is extremely frusterating. Course I'm still getting sircams.

    Keep in mind the hundreds of priests now being wrongfully prosecuted due to a stererotype that is spreading like wildfire. Bear in mind how it is ruining their lives. blah blah blah...

    These "hundreds of priests" could have kept a good name if they had just policed themselves a little better. Because the Catholic church is not a democracy, they feel they are above laws that govern normal men. They give figures like it is only 1.5% of the priests doing this (figure from Meet The Press last Sunday), but that still means that it is 600 priests guilty of this. Assholes like Cardinal Law, who helped cover this up, and would just move them to a new place to continue molesting kids, deserve a nice span of time in jail as accessories to these crimes. The image of Cardinal Law being buttfucked by some skinhead in the shower would be a fitting punishment.

    What's this, a troll moving on and posting on-topic, relevant messages? I used to post seriously here when uid's were well below 10,000, and it's in the gap between then and now that I decided never to contribute to this detritus again.

    All my pageviews are just bandwidth consumers, and all my posts just wasted storage.
