Loveletter Windows Worm

The Loveletter worm caused over 5.5 billion dollars in cleanup efforts and data destruction when it was released in May of 2000. It overwries several different types of files, including mp3 and vbs files with its own code. It also mass mails itself to your contacts and drops several files to the Windows and Windows System directory.

That virus may love you, but not your mp3s. ;_;

@TheBucketSkill If file extensions are hidden, and you see a file extension, what do you think about the file? Also, the icon.

[TheBucketSkill]

@Vikez0r By default, it hid file extensions. :\.

@TheDeluxeKiller But how was anyone stupid enough to run a random .vbs file claiming to be a .txt?

[TheDeluxeKiller]

@Vikez0r security was shit way back

[Vikez0r]

How the hell did a .vbs worm cause so much damage?
