Blue Mountain Cards Virus

Last February, someone sent out a very small message to a few friends warning them that e-mail greeting cards from Blue Mountain Arts contained a virus. A few weeks later, the message spread all over the world to thousands of people.

This simple message illustrates the potential destructive power of hoaxes. Luckily, Blue Mountain Arts has enough resources and exposure to combat this rumor but smaller companies might have a lot more trouble with a similar hoax.

Blue Mountain Arts has set up a page explaining the situation at the following location:
