AOL is experiencing major problems due to a virus that was recentl=
y
loaded onto our main user database, containing most of our member
registration information, we are currently experiencing widespread system=
failure. The problem originated when our system was illegally breached by=
a
former AOL employee.
We believe the employee, who is currently being questioned by
authorities, loaded a virus into our database. Because we identified the
problem quickly, we were able to stop the problem before the entire datab=
ase
was deleted. =
The files that were deleted, however, happened to be the database =
link
files that link a user's financial statement and screen name to the rest =
of
their account. We are currently working with McAfee Associates (Anti-Viru=
s),
to replace the lost files.
Some of the effects as a result of not having the database link fi=
les
include: random log-off's, AOLnet runs slower, and Email may accidentally=
be
deleted. These problems are MAJOR inconveniences to our users, so we need=
your help to fix the problem. =
In order to fix and validate your account, we will need the follow=
ing
information: name, credit card number, bank name, expiration date, addres=
s,
and phone number. If a reply is not received, we will assume you no longe=
r
want your account within 3 hours after reading this letter, and thus, wil=
l
terminate it.
Thank for your cooperation and speediness. Your account will be fi=
xed
promptly once the information for validation has been received via respon=
ding
to this letter. =
