    "Zombie" attack disinformation

    Check out this site:


    LQP-79 Virus Infection For victims of the LQP-79 mental virus infection or zombie virus


    It is deliberate disinformation by some guy named Alfred Moya:

    Zombie Virus Hoax Is the Work of Florida Webmaster Alfred Moya

    But not everyone thinks the joke is funny. A Massachusetts-based group called the Zombie Action Committee outed the hoax, but also slammed Moya:

    The note of parody involved is not without merit... However, Moya's propagation of an internet hoax that has induced real fear in some, in which all roads lead back to his site, with its Google ads and prominently featured Paypal widget for donating to "fund research and broadcasting information of this deadly virus!" ... well, it doesn't exactly scream altruistic satire.


    There is a real phenomenon occuring with these strange attacks and it is sad that people are putting up disclaimerless War of the World type sites to get their 15 minutes of fame or even profit monetarily on the fear they generate.
