A warning on a new destructive 'trojan horse'
Authored by: _merlin on May 12, '04 08:56:35PM

Remember the "Sexy Ladies" Hypercard stack? It erased your hard disk while you checked out the porn. Was it a problem with Hypercard? No. Was it a problem with System 6? No. It was a problem with people opening any file they downloaded!

Apple didn't release any patched to Hypercard or System 6 to fix this "vulnerability", but people became a lot more careful about what Hypercard stacks they opened.
