This came to me today at work. Thought I'd pass the warning. Not exactly
"The Crash" but could be just as bad for us.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. I was just over at the CIAC site, and this is
a verified HOAX.

Well, this is covered in the FAQ, that you don't post this stuff, but I'm sure
GridSec has already let you know that. Also, I have come into possession of
some information from an FBI agent who serves on the task force for computer
terrorism. What he told me is that if something tells you that it will erase
all files on your hard drive, it's probably a hoax. Just an FYI. I appreciate
your sentiments in warning everyone, though.
