>Unknown hackers have illegally put the Chinon name on a destructive

>DRIVE. The program, allegedly a shareware PC utility that will
>convert an ordinary CD-ROM drive into a CD-Recordable (CD-R) device,
>which is technically impossible, instead destroys critical system
>files on a user's hard drive. The program also immediately crashes the
>CPU, forces the user to reboot and stays in memory.

>Widest dissemination is requested.
