ILOVEYOU
Disclaimer:
Hello, this is my first custom scenario. Since I’m a huge nerd on computers, why not make a virus that is based on computers because there’s a small amount of scenarios that have to do with computer viruses as far as I know. Take note that there could be some grammar errors and that I may not be the best at english. However, I hope you enjoy! If you’re planning to record this custom scenario and post it on Youtube, please add a link to this scenario so others could play it!
Bio:
Your name is Onel de Guzman, a 24-year-old resident of Manila, Philippines. Currently, there are no laws in the Philippines against creating malware. Your mission is to create a computer virus that will eradicate all human technology and bring the entire world into anarchy as the economy breaks down, while you get all the money and the info from the computers you’ve affected to yourself.
Virus Description:
ILOVEYOU, sometimes referred to as Love Bug or Love Letter for you, is a computer worm that infected over ten million Windows personal computers on and after 4 May 2000 when it started spreading as an email message with the subject line ILOVEYOU and the attachment LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt. The latter file extension (‘vbs’, a type of interpreted file) was most often hidden by default on Windows computers of the time (as it is an extension for a file type that is known by Windows), leading unwitting users to think it was a normal text file. Opening the attachment activates the Visual Basic script. The worm inflicts damage on the local machine, overwriting random types of files (including Office files, image files, and audio files; however after overwriting MP3 files the virus hides the file), and sends a copy of itself to all addresses in the Windows Address Book used by Microsoft Outlook. This made it spread much faster than any other previous email worm.
