In a german magazine (ST Magazine, former 68000er) I read about a scandinavian hacker group, which claimed to have written a virus that could format a write protected disk. The writer of the article claimed to have witnessed such evil thing happening. My question: is such thing possible without tampering with the hardware of the disk drive? The hacker group said, that they never distributed the beast. -- Martin Matt ( ...!cernvax!ethz!matt )
