World's Most Dangerous Laptop’ Is On Sale For $1.2 Million by Seequadry(m): 6:37pm On May 27, 2019 |
A laptop loaded with six of the most destructive pieces of malware is being sold at an auction. These viruses have caused nearly $100 billion in damages worldwide, and some of them are still floating around on the Internet. This is quite possibly the most dangerous machine in the world right now, and it's running on Microsoft's Windows XP. The artwork is a simple Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-inch laptop (2008), which is currently running Windows XP (Service Pack 3), and is loaded with six different malware. The laptop is being kept isolated and air-gapped, which means the six dangerous viruses cannot escape from the laptop and spread elsewhere, unless, of course, if you hook it up with your Wi-Fi. That's not going to end well for anyone. The six pieces of malware include ILOVEYOU MyDoom SoBig WannaCry Dark Tequila and BlackEnergy. It does seem rather bizarre to sell a machine that's loaded with malware, but it's being sold as a piece of art. The official listing page for the project clarifies that the auction is only meant for 'academic reasons' as the sale of malware for operational purposes is illegal. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/malware-infested-laptop-sells-for-over-1-million/
