New virus infects PCs, whacks SCO | CNET News.com
Topic: Computer Security 1:53 am EST, Jan 27, 2004

] A mass-mailing virus quickly spread through the Internet
] on Monday, compromising computers so that they attack the
] SCO Group's Web server with a flood of data on Feb. 1,
] according to antivirus companies.

I'm seeing many of these..

I need to think about this some more before I comment. This is interesting. Its all about the bounces.

Update(2): Congrads. Someone has written a virus that has gotten me confused.. I'm not sure if what I think is happening, is happening. And I'm not receiving enough of the spams anymore to tell. This virus was doing a few odd things. Either that, or some additional weird emails that are completely unrelated to this are hitting me.. [shrug]

This is the _wrong_ type of remix culture. This shows the dangerous edge of everything I ranted about in the post below. Taking viruses, modifying them, and passing them around is helping the evolutionary process of problems, that's all. We want to evolve culture, not threats.
