I do a little research and found out that it was originated in Makati City, Philippines (not sure if it's true though).

but not known if it was the same person ;)
I don't think he's also the creator of Code Red.

Yeah I remember the NBI doing a raid to capture the , for what? We don't have Cyber Crime laws back then. It's simply what we called "Pa-Pogi Points"

It is believed it came from the same city in the Philippines but not known if it was the same person ;)
Maybe, like us, they were different people with similar interests in malware belonging to the same "CLUB";:rolleyes: and as some of us are familiar with in life: Every Super Hero has his/her Arch Nemesis Villain. In a comic book Bizarro Mirror Universe, Malware Tips might even be the:eek: Mal-fire Force whom starts fires rather than helping to put them out!:oops: Well, I'm glad I'm only dreaming;;) and now it's time for me, as Moe from the Three Stooges once said, "Wake up and go to sleep!":cool:

Back Orifice, subseven, flame , stuxnet

Different eras same effects.

Most dangerous malwares are often remote controlled

The good ones are the self replicating and the viruses that delete them selves or have a kill switch like Flame did.
POOF GONE ALL TRACES. :eek::eek:o_Oo_O:confused::confused::mad: <<---- our expression when we find out, in order.....

@Cowpipe - I made this virus once that moved the MBR to cylinder 4, head 2, sector 0

;)

Very nice, I can't remember the significance of cylinder 4 unfortunately but I do remember being asked once what number the cylinders went up to and I said "2000" (the millenium cylinder) and a few days later this guy came back to me like "wtf, I'm trying to access cylinder 2000. Why isn't it working properly?" and I was like, go and play with your overwriters until you figure it out lol. An early example of a noob ;)

Simply because some Mac, not-so-savy, people think they're free from malware. Bad malware. All of my Mac users are infected with it.
