intifadah.cjb.net Hoax
March 2001
This particular hoax probably has a political motive. A web site
cannot do what is indicated in the message without your help. If a
website can get you to download and run an application then it can
do anything to your system but without that help it can do little
more than open a bunch of windows. Opening a bunch of windows might
make your system unusable until you quit your browser or rebooted
your system but would do no permanent damage.
I actually went to this site and looked around. I did not find
anything malicious. If you click on the about box, it takes you to a
page that acknowledges that the hoax message is out there and makes
the statements: � Your hard disk will not crash at this web
site. � This web site is not maintained by zionists. � The
warning wasn't an attempt to draw attention to this web site (this
web site didn't exsist untill the warning was sent). Subject;
Warning!
I don't know how true the following is, I am forwarding it just in
case!
Warning:
Do NOT enter this website: (intifadah.cjb.net) or any other websites
that ends up with CJB.net.
These are Zionist websites. Th Intifada website has been
constructed by the Zionists to attract Arabs and Muslims who browse
the net. If you enter the website, your hard-drive crashes at once.
