The program, "Chinatalk," purports to be a female-voice for Macintalk. But when run it will overwrite the directory of any hard disk it finds online. (The same as choosing ERASE from the Finder menubar). The file was never made public here, on ZMAC or on any CompuServe Forum. All sysops of private BBS services should be on the lookout for this file. If anyone has information on the perpetrator of this Trojan Horse program please contact me -- Neil Shapiro -- via either EMAIL or voice phone at 516-735-6924. On behalf of MAUG, I am personally posting a $500.00 reward for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of this criminal. (Should more then one person supply identical information the reward will be to the first giving the information; if two or more people give information which is both non-identical and necessary to catching the criminal the reward will be equally split between the parties.) Let's catch this pond scum and let's do it quickly! Again: The file was NEVER made public here, on ZMAC, or on any other CompuServe Forum.
