Many years ago there was a new and terrible computer virus called "Columbus Day Virus" and it had banks and businesses going bonkers as there were afraid of loosing everything. Well Columbus Day came and just about 4 PM one of the TV stations got a call that the biggest bank in San Diego had been hit! Oh my, so the station sent a reporter and camera man to see what happened. In the VP's office there was a very large sideboard with a TV set on it doing a piece on of all things....Columbus! On the VP's desk was his computer screen showing a "blue screen of death" that their head of IT said it was from the TV set on the side board??!! Huh, that seems to me to be a bit impossible but their IT man said it would take a couple days to fix it back to normal.

I used this as one of the examples in my computer security class and most of my students agreed with me and it shows how easily people can be tricked!
