A hardened computer hacker has been arrested on suspicion of writing a computer virus that systematically destroys all the files on victims’ PCs and replaces them with homemade manga images of squid, octopuses and sea urchins.
Between 20,000 and 50,000 computers may have been infected. Masato Nakatsuji, 27, of Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture, was quoted as telling police: “I wanted to see how much my computer programming skills had improved since the last time I was arrested.”
The virus gets its name because infected files are replaced by manga images of a squid, octopus or sea urchin. If the virus is left unchecked, all files in the computer’s hard disk become infected. When a user tries to open a file, all the individual can access is a manga image of a marine invertebrate.
Nakatsuji, who was convicted for violating copyrights in his previous case, was quoted as telling police he felt he would not be arrested again because he had created the manga images for Ikatako himself, therefore avoiding a violation of the copyright law.
