Off hand I would say no. Hoax. IF you in fact knowingly/unknowingly sent them such a nasty virus that it 'destroyed their hard drive and backup system' then one has to ask 'how did they find me?' in order to 'fire back'? What company would stoop to responding to an attack with a virus/worm of their own. I think not. On Saturday, May 24, 2003, at 06:50 AM, R.
