Japanese virus replaces files with pictures of squid

not just squid, but anime squid
Nakatsuji told police: “I wanted to see how much my computer programming skills had improved since the last time I was arrested.”
It’s not the first time that Nakatsuji has been arrested for virus creation. In 2008 he was convicted of violating copyright after coding malware that replaced data with an image from anime series Clannad. He told the police in this case that he didn’t think he’d be arrested again because he’d created the squid and octopus images himself, avoiding a breach of copyright.
oh my goodness
