There's a long story behind good old Anouk Theiler - ah and by the way it's not a virus!
virus behind the friend request from a certain “Anouk Theiler” that destroys the entire hard drive.
The whole message is:
Is on the move again via Whatsapp:
URGENT!!!!
Please tell everyone on your WhatsUp list not to accept the contact “Anouk Theiler”! This is a virus (via WhatsUp) that destroys the entire hard drive and takes down the data. If one of your contacts catches him, you will also be affected because he will eat his way through the list! If the number 0794576999 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed by EUROP1 and SAT1 this morning! Forward!!
How it all began...
Here is the entire chronology of a stupid joke that is now circulating as a chain letter on the Internet:
August 2011
The year is 2011. It is August and the name “ Christian Wick ” is mentioned for the first time. Facebook users published the following status post:
Please tell everyone on your list not to accept Christian Wick It destroys your hard drive and takes down the data. If one of your contacts catches him, you will also be affected because he will eat his way through the list, so copy that and put it on your wall.
September 2012
In September 2012 there was another status post and Christian Wick became Marcel Hohmann:
Please tell all the people on your list not to accept contact with Marcel Hohmann , it's a virus (via Facebook, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and pulls down the data. If one of your contacts catches it, it's you also affected because he eats his way through the list!
October 2013
Another status post is making the rounds. This looks like this:
Please tell all the people on your list not to accept Marcel Hohmann This is a virus (via Facebook, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and downloads the data. If one of your contacts catches it, you will also be affected because it eats its way through the list! So copy and send! If the number 065420164 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed EUROP1 and RTL Forward!
If you now read through all the status posts you will see that the last one (October 2013) is a combination of the previous status posts.
April / May 2014
The Facebook hoax finally ends up on “WhatsApp”
[mk_ad]
The WhatsApp message in full:
Please tell everyone on your list not to accept Marcel Hohmann” This is a virus (via WhatsApp, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and downloads the data. If one of your contacts catches it, you will also be affected because it eats its way through the list! so copy and send””!!! If the number 065420164 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed EUROP1 and RTL Forward!
October 2014
Now “Marcel Hohmann” suddenly became “Domenik Beuting”:
Please tell everyone on your list not to accept Domenik Beuting This is a virus (via WhatsApp, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and downloads the data. If one of your contacts catches it, you will also be affected because it eats its way through the list! so copy and send!!! If the number 065420164 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed EUROP1 and RTL Forward!
July 2015
Marcel Hohmann, Christian Wick and Domenik Beuting suddenly became Ute Christoff... and Ute Christoff then became Ute Lehr and Ute Lehr sometime between 2015 and 2018 - you guessed it right! Anouk Theiler!
Back in 2018
There is absolutely no truth to the claims! The attack on the hard drive is just as out of thin air as the confirmations from EUROP1 and SAT1.
The same applies to “Anouk Theiler” or any other name that appears in such chain letters!
