AOL RIOT JUNE 1, 1998

WARNING:
You must forward this letter to 10 people or your account will be
terminated
on June 1, 1998. All recipients of this e-mail are being tracked. When you
received this, when you forwarded it, who you forwarded it to, is all on
record. We are AOL's most elite hacker group, known as LcW. We have hacked
AOL's (easily infiltrated) systems on numerous occaisions. We have shut
down
AOL keywords, we can kick any AOL Staff member off for 24 hours, we have
gained access to Steve Case's account, we have created AOL's most famous
hacking programs (Fate X, HaVoK, HeLL RaIsEr, MaGeNtA) and we can certainly
get your credit card info. However, if you send this to 10 people, like you
are told, you will escape unharmed. We won't terminate your account and you
will be able to continue using AOL. So if you know whats best for you, you
will send this to 10 people as soon as possible. If you think we are
bluffing....just wait till June 1, and see if you can sign or not.

CAUTION: THERE WILL BE A VIRUS UPLOADED ON AOL'S MAIN SERVER ON JUNE 1,
1998.
ANY USERS WHO HAVEN'T FORWARDED THIS MESSAGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY HAVE THE
VIRUS
DOWNLOADED INTO THEIR SYSTEM. WE SUGGEST YOU FORWARD THIS MESSAGE OR YOUR
COMPUTER WILL BE FRIED.

*****

Because of the outrage of AOL's increasing prices, LcW has decided to
create
a riot on May 1, that will cause havoc on AOL. We will be sending viruses
out
to thousands of AOL users. We will be terminating accounts. We will be
hacking
into Guide chat rooms and kicking guides offline. There will be no AOL
Staff -
just complete pandemonium. If you want to join this riot, we urge you to!
You
won't have to worry about being TOSed or Reported because there will be no
Guides online! So do whatever you want - punt, scroll, tos, just turn AOL
into
a war zone!

In article <[email protected]>,
AOL riots mean nothing. On any given night on AOL (From what I remember) you
could enter any chat and a wannabe hacker or just people who like being
assholes would scroll and punt people in the room. Mailbombz are constant.
TOSemail namez are alwayz full. Guidez are in M4M roomz doing whatever they
claim to do. And hundredz of people just have to sit there and take it. Hell,
I used be an asshole playing around on free accountz on AOL...now I just play
around sometimes on free accounts telneting and ftping so my real IP address
won't be logged doing shit. 12 million customerz providez a lot of comfort
space if they try to track you.

 I wonder if all the twinkletoes who engaged in this 'anarchy' ever managed to get laid later in life, or got promoted up from their burger flipping job after all these years?
