Subj: TROJAN IN ROCHESTER,NY Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE
Paul,
Sorry I havent been on in awhile, I got hit really bad by a Trojan
Horse.... The darn thing blanked my screen on me and then selectively
deleted every 200th cluster on my hard drive ! Needless to say I am
quite upset and in a stir here.... I lost alot of things, but had recent
backups... Just some things that I didnt catch on a regular basis that
have to be taken care of... My apologies to you for not being on here in
awhile, but I have kinda been debating about some things like "Is this
all worth it?' I thought about it real hard.... This is the third
time in 6 months I have gotten hit with a trojan horse, what hurts more
is that all three times it was a friend of mine that I was led to
believe was a newcomer to computers and modeming, but little did I know,
he was working in league with a user I booted off the system. He is
actually quite a knowledgeable programmer and uploaded the programs to
me which I thought I could use, so stupid me, I didnt run chk4bomb on
them cazuse I was such in a rush to use them, and look what happened !
Well, on the lighter side, I know who it is, and have filed charges
against him with the police and the local DA says the charges will
stick, so I am not at all in a glump still. All the damages I am
seeking are damages for the time I spent repairing the hard drive . Is
there ever an end to this ? Four other local boards have gotten hit by
this gook also and 3 have gone down.... I am the last to stand here and
I really dont feel like being the target of TH's ! Well, just wanted to
let you know that I am still alive and I hope to have my board back up
and resume normal calling to other boards shortly. Hey, hows the
network mail thing coming ? I am really interested on that, but have
been occupied getting my board back up... Let me know how it works...

Paul,
The names of the programs that were the Trojan Horses that I got on my
system and other local boards were ENVLOP21.ARC a supposed label
maker program quick and easy. This file unarcs to about 3K and what
it does is when you run it, it blanks your screen and your hard drive
light goes on and the program selectively attacks clusters at equal
intervals. The person that wrote this program is 12 years old and his
father is a computer professor at RIT here in Rochester. We have
contacted his parents several times but they seem unwilling to do
anything about it and also think their child is an angel and dont think
he would do anything like that. THe other program was also a 3K large
program unarced and was an Envelope adresser called ENVELOPE.ARC .
This program goes for broke and tries to corrupt every file on your hard
drive !!!!! What this one does is blanks your screen and then flashes
the screen several times while your hard drive light is on, and when you
get through, you have jello coming out of your hard drive and when you
go to do a Norton Disk Test, it shows multiple file corruptions and
cluster errors. Alias's of this "child" are Peter Traeg, Peter Norton,
and Noah Rubins. The alias of Peter Norton, he uses and he gets all the
necessary info for registering from the back of a Norton Utilities box
like address and phone number. BEWARE OF THIS KID HE IS A MENACE !! His
real name is Noam Mendleson from Rochester NY. If anyone wants further
info about him let me know, but also tagged on his list of hits was a
local Genesis board for which Noam got a copy of the Genesis PC BBS
software, tore apart a few of the internal programs like sysop utils and
re-wrote them and then uploaded them to the Genesis board as a POWERFUL
GENESIS UTILITY ! Well, the Sysop , with out checking, ran the utility
and the screen blanked and renamed his user log complete with passowrds
to another filename, and copied it into the download path and then the
last part of the program did something with the userlog and gave every
user SYSOP ACCESS ! This was all done without the Sysop knowing what
was going on till he found out through a little light, which happened to
be Noam logging on and trying to do things with his new Sysop access.
Well, needless to say this caused quite a stir up here and everyone had
to change their passwords.....
