First JPEG Virus Posted To Usenet
Shawn writes "This could possibly be the worst viruses yet! Earlier this month Microsoft announced a problem in their GDI driver that processes the way JPEG images are displayed. Someone has finally posted an exploit to Usenet. Easynews, a premium Usenet provider, found the virus Sunday afternoon. Up-to-date information about how we found it and what it does is located at www.easynews.com/virus.txt. When this picture is viewed it installs remote management software (winvnc and radmin) and will connect to irc."
First post!
Johnny rules!!!

Someone tell me, thats not a virus, is it?
Offtopic? :p Lighten up and try to appreciate a bit of humor/sarcasm. What good is life if you can't enjoy it?
Another one bites the dust...

Now you're ready for tubgirl.

Evidently you've not been introduced to the delights of www.lemonparty.org
It is easy to put things in your head, but DAMN HARD to get them out.
Apparently it's easy to put things in goatse man as well.
...If the editors can dupe, why not the posters?
(how deep can we go?)
*crickets*
Well, it has never been successfully tested.
"(how deep can we go?)"
I doubt we can go deep enough to avoid that dude's fingers.
It's more a question of "how low can we go"?
It's quite a cultural phenomenon: Cover of Time Magazine
And when I said "cultural", I meant degenerate.
Irene KHAAAAAAN!
You need more than 1 reason not to look??
I can only make one person a day happy. Today isn't your day.....tomorrow doesn't look good either!
BASS!
And the goatse.cx site was suspended. It's not there anymore.
So I guess we'll have to raise the money to replace it, eh?
You are standing in an open server west of a blue house, with a boarded front door. There is an Exchange mailbox here.

On Soviet Christmas Island, does Goatse Man's head get put into you?
In Soviet Russia, the poster's dupe the editors.
Beware of gifts bearing Greeks.
that's a recycled joke.

That won't be necessary. Apparently the site was suspended without warning on January 14, 2004, but not without protest. Some thought the ".cx" top-level domain name was recieving a bad reputation. However this hasn't stopped the site reappearing under different domain names- for example, one excluding the "se" and another substituting the ".ca" TLD for ".cx". So it is still there, to the horror of unnwitting first-time viewers everywhere. It has also spawned a whole series of parodies and tributes. There is a Wikipedia article about it, with more information than you ever wanted to know on the topic.
The temptation is great, but I am going to forget I ever saw "tubgirl" in your post and live happily in ignorant bliss. Aside from the still queezy stomach I have from Goatse.
If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people
To the person who modded the parent post down from Funny 2 to 0 and all the replys from 2, 3,and 4 down to 0, -1 and offtopic. Eat shit.

The obvious reason for all those comments being moderated down, is that the goatse guy is a slashdot editor, and thus has unlimited moderator points.
The less obvious reason is of course that the editors don't want some poor sucker googles it and gets exposed to it. Even though the comments are owned by the posters, it lowers the respectability of slashdot.
