16, 2004 by Blix Panda A group of renegade hackers calling themselves Over2U, announced their intention to release a virus they say will make Windows a seamless, crash-proof operating system, rousing worried calls from Microsoft for the FBI to track down these “troublemakers.” The virus seems to have been written after the release of the Windows source code, leading experts to believe the hackers rewrote much of the main code, stripping out thousands of lines of unneeded Blue Screen causing code and reducing the amount of bloat. In a statement issued from their web site, Microsoft pleaded with customers “not to buy into this hoax,” and to “ignore any suggestion that the Windows operating system is flawed.” The company also posted a patch on their site for users who might wish to avoid infection from the virus known simply as “OS-OK.” The FBI has found little in the way of clues to the origins of this virus or the group responsible, though they announced earlier today they wish to question an eleven-year-old hacker known as “RotN”, who is the suspected leader of Over2U. A nationwide dragnet has been announced for elementary schools and video game rooms.
