Pentagon

DUCK NEWS - sewn virus PRESTOR in ROM Pentagon computers.

   Arc hearing was received by us from our old friends,
comprising one of Moscow hakkerskih groups:

   According to them, the Pentagon computers in ROM-128, 
Pentagon-48, Pentagon-16 virus was found sewn "PRESTOR", 
activated after a 666-second you click "RESET". The 
consequences of his actions first noticed, but their fatal 
outcome for the structure of these computers. The most terrible 
thing is that the virus can not be destroy, as it "sits" in Rom.


   It is unknown whether this is a "mistake" programmers
Sinclair Research Ltd (then it "sits" in all (!) Computers
these brands), or are engaged in only some of
generating ROM for the Spectrum factory (then infected with a
part of the Pentagon).

   Our sources say that the virus remained in
ROM Scorpion-ZS256 and Scorpion-ZS256Turbo.

   This information has not been documented, so
No worries for osnavany met. In the near future we expect
new information on this issue and in future editions 
necessarily put it. 


   Vstrech to new friends!
