Dating Site Accused of ‘Shrek Virus’ Publicity Hoax

Sophos calls time on ‘Shrek virus’ that supposedly allowed 30,000 ‘ugly people’ to join Danish dating website BeautifulPeople. No evidence of the so-called virus or any police investigation was produced. Website claimed it had spent $100,000 (60,000) cleaning database of people not deemed good looking enough to be members. Security company Sophos is accusing the dating site of lying through its chemically-whitened teeth in search of coverage. At face value, fair or not, this attack sounds pretty incredible.”]
