Enter the name of the entity/group, in this case enter !0000
!0000 instead of, for example, John Doe
Then for an e-mail address, enter the words WORM ALERT
Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi all:
I use AOL for my e-mail. Years ago, I was instructed by someone to
put the following as the first entry in my address book and enter the words
WORM ALERT where the recipient's e-mail address would go. That would
prevent anyone from hacking the address book. So far, I have been either
lucky or the entry works.

I receive about one
of these each day. They appear to be as a result of one’s e-mail
address book being hacked and copied for distribution. The thief then
sends an e-mail to each recipient with a virus and/or an irrelevant
link—just to confirm the stolen e-mail addresses are valid. Then the
addresses are packaged and sold by the thousands/millions to
who-knows-who? There do not seem to be any traces or virus’ left on
the donor’s computer as commercial and sophisticated scans show no malware
or virus. I was advised that one might protect one’s address book from
hacking/pirating/copying by entering a dummy name and address. Somehow
supposed to block the hacking/copying program. Unconfirmed but I have
no indication that my address book has been hacked. May be like
putting clothespins on a fuel line.
