P2P’ers Get Burned

LOL! Apparently, there is a fake version of MS Word 2004 (Just released for the Mac) floating around on some P2P networks

And, in a case of pirates getting what they deserve… it deletes most (if not all) of the files in your home directory. A good first tip off… if MicroSloth was going to release a demo of Office 2k4, or any of its parts, chances are..they would not choose to distribute it over a P2P network.. and .. since its file size is only 108k… when’s the last time M$ wrote any of their bloat ware that small? I think their icons are even bigger then that!

so.. if you’re stealing software over P2P networks..don’t run the 108k version of MSWord =)

And no.. I don’t think this is some kind of huge security risk for Mac users… I can write a batch file for windows that does the same thing, and a script file for *nix that does the same thing… this is all about safe computing.. if you don’t trust the source of your files 100%.. don’t open them in an account you aren’t prepared to have erased. And anything off a P2P network.. not a source to trust 100%
