Cool new Data Mining Virus. . .

Dear Criminal Hacker,

Not only is it able to ferret out all possible e-mail combinations from stored information on the gull's computers, it also is able to search for related e-mail addresses on public data stores, and back-door the mark's system for propagation and remote control.

Using new Web Services technology and an understanding of XML data typing, it intelligently is able to extract personal and corporate stored information from any system on which it installs. Using a distributed network for failsafe reliablility unlike those who hard-coded contact servers in their code, it is able to extract any targetted information back to you for purposes from simple identity theft to sophisticated corporate and governmental espionage.

As a further protection, it has been equipped with a digital self-destruct "big red button" for taking down the compromised computer network, so those opposing virus authors cannot take advantage of your hard work.

Coming to a computer near you soon!

Your local unethical computer programming group.

PS. We're at war here, don't tip off the non-security minded computer public out there. Talk up convenience, ease of use, make them comfortable with keeping sensitive information on any servers they may use or interact with. The more systems where they store contact and credit card information, the more opportunities we have of obtaining financial materiel to fund our ongoing "Great Cause".

NOTE: To actual computer users out there, the components are in place, take this stuff seriously, it's not a game anymore!
