Title: Dreamcast Game infected with Virus
Post by: Dexter on December 01, 2001, 01:44:17 PM
Caught this over at Da Lan Tech (http://\"http://www.dalantech.com\").

\"A Japanese-language version of a Sega Dreamcast role-playing game has become infected with a computer virus.

The game, Atelier Marie, includes a screensaver which is infected with the highly damaging Kriz virus.

Although the Dreamcast itself is left unscathed by this, anyone loading the screensaver onto their PC from the game\'s CD-ROM will be in for an unpleasant surprise, when the virus activates on Christmas Day. \"

You can read the entire report at The Register (http://\"http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/56/23139.html\").
