Sober Attack on 87th Anniversary of the Nazi Party
Jack writes "ITO is reporting that Sober is scheduled to attack on January 2006 - the data coincides with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party: "The next planned widespread of 2005's most prolific e-mail worm, Sober, is scheduled to start on January 5, 2006 based on commands hard-coded within the worm. The attack date coincides with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party.""
Wow. Does this mean the thread is over before it's even started???

Well, that's silly. Everyone knows that drunken attacks always go over better...
Stewie Griffin announced a sexy party to be held the same day.

Circumcision is child abuse.
I agree - the Nazis had the best dress sense of any governmental organisation *ever* - some seriously good look! Bit of a shame that they developed into a bunch of xenophobic genocidal maniacs.

the 64th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Habor.

Just let me think of it, and I'll get back to you...

I still have an old 486 with the Michelangelo virus embedded in the partition table. It still has this message written in wite-out on the casing:
"WARNING: DO NOT USE ON MARCH 6"
I might have to boot that sucker up this weekend and see what's on it.

It's actually the 528th anniversary of the Battle of Nancy when Burgundy became part of France.
Sober was written by Burgundish insurgents...
The first thing it does is that it tries to take over a beer hall in Munich.

... He died of injuries from hitting a tree while skiing at the Heavenly Ski Resort near South Lake Tahoe, California, at the age of 62. (The accident came just days after Michael Kennedy died in a skiing accident on December 31, 1997, in Colorado.)
5 january Nazi party? hmm. It is much worse.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Bono
Salvatore Phillip "Sonny" Bono (February 16, 1935 - January 5, 1998) was an American record producer, singer, actor and politician whose career spanned over three decades.
"ITL is reporting that Sober is scheduled to attack on January 2006 - the data coincides with the death of Sonny Bono: "The next planned widespread of 2005's most prolific e-mail worm, Sober, is scheduled to start on January 5, 2006 based on commands hard-coded within the worm. The attack date coincides with the death of Sonny Bono who died of injuries from hitting a tree while skiing at the Heavenly Ski Resort near South Lake Tahoe.""
But is even worse:
Jan 5, 2002 - Charles Bishop, a 15-year-old student pilot, crashes a light aircraft into a Tampa, Florida building, evoking fear of a copycat 9/11 terrorist attack.
Jan 5, 2000 - The 1st day of the 2000 Al Qaeda Summit.
Jan 5, 1895 - Dreyfus Affair: French officer Alfred Dreyfus is stripped of his rank and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island.
Jan 5, 1984 - Richard Stallman starts developing GNU.
So, "ITNO is reporting that Sober is scheduled to attack on January 2006 - the data coincides with the start of developing GNU and the Dreyfus Affair: "The next planned widespread of 2005's most prolific e-mail worm, Sober, is scheduled to start on January 5, 2006 based on commands hard-coded within the worm. The attack date coincides with the death of Sonny Bono, the start of Richard Stallman's GNU project, Alfred Dreyfus' imprisonment and the 1st day of the 2000 Al Qaeda Summit."
Now, in order to understand internet security you need to realize that everything is controlled by the GNU project made up of Free software supporters with help from the nazis. The conspiracy first started during 5th Jan in Devil's Island. They have been responsible for many events throughout history, including the death of Sonny Bono. Today, members of the conspiracy are everywhere. They can be identified by posting articles. They want to imprison Dreyfus and copycat 9/11 using email worm Sober. In order to prepare for this, we all must listen to the hidden news. Since the media is controlled by Richard Stallman we should get our information from slashdot.
Whew, I'm glad we have people around here like you to protect us from Ze Germans.
Yeah - that'll be the day

If you search before you post, you'll know that Sober-G was used to send out Neo-Nazi spam. Buddy Holly was not.
oh great, so now there's a Buddy Holly virus too???
Who cares about the Nazi party? It's gonna strike 50 years to the day Elvis released Heartbreak Hotel!
Dont worry, I have the perfect defense for the Sober Attack.
