   So this is all just a fluke? No surprise there. There is only one thing in the mind of serious virus coders and hackers nowadays, and that is money. The rests who are doing it for pure fun are usually, well, doing it just for fun, and often the threat isn't as big as it's originally thought. Looks like this Nazi virus (allow me to call it that) is made for fun too, just like Prince Harry of UK wore a Nazi uniform.

   But the potential for this sort of thing for real is not far off I think.

   Well, it is no surprise to me, because a virus being distributed on such a wide scale such as that, would be way too much work!!!!!!! and besides, it was already known that the virus was going to spread, so I guess the hackers that made this virus, saw no point in distributing it, because it would basically be pointless, and they would run the chance of getting caught.

   It's good to see that nothing happened. This almost reminds me of the Y2K incident, but at a smaller scale. But security companies are aware and have been prepared for this, so it looks like a good ending.

   A small victory for our advancement in computer security but our "war" against hackers (Just shove in virus writers, script kiddies, and every bad guy into one general category.) still continues.
