Wow! Cool. First Zombie Mac I ever heard of. My Winbox was zombied once, but
I never heard of it happening to a Mac. There could be some other
explanation, of course, but it definitely sounds like Zombie-hood, where
some hacker takes over your machine and uses it to further the Cause of
Evil.

Subject: [G4] "Echo you got owned"

Out of the blue a 9.9GB disk "echo you got owned" appeared on my MDD running
10.4.11
desktop. It contains a bunch of applications, the Library (5.5GB!) and
sundry files
mostly I think from my main startup drive. I googled it like crazy but can't
really find any 
answers. Any idea what that is? Virus?
