New File Sharing Virus Destroys Files, Replaces Them with Manga Images
Quote:
A 27 year-old Japanese computer hacker has been arrested on suspicion of creating a computer virus that wipes out all the files on the infected systems and replaces them with homemade manga images of squid, octopuses and sea urchins.
According to Asashi, Masato Nakatsuji, of Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture, who had been previously arrested for violating copyright laws by writing malware that replaced data with an anime image, said to the police: "I wanted to see how much my computer programming skills had improved since the last time I was arrested."
