The Department spokesman denied the accusations and said it would be "totally irresponsible" for a military organisation to release a virus.

Its existence supposedly goes back as far as 1987, but the earliest date that can be found on it from anything official is 1988 February.Īfter the virus made a few prominent appearances in Australia, accusations were made against the New Zealand Defense Department alleging it created the virus. The Stoned virus was supposedly programmed by a student at the University of Wellington in New Zealand. Some versions of DOS use sector 11 as part of the File Allocation Table, which can cause the disk's FAT being corrupted. The virus does not intentionally damage anything, but when the virus moves the original boot sector to sector 11 on 5.25 inch floppy disks, any files with directory entries on that sector will be lost.
