Reporting for duty

The Stop Online Piracy ACT (SOPA) was a major threat to the Internet. The bill introduced draconian censorship tools for the Government and copyright holders, that worried the public and many key Internet companies including Reddit, Google and Wikipedia.

After months of protest, the bill was eventually killed off following the Internet Blackout earlier this year.

But that doesn’t mean SOPA is no longer a threat. This week ‘the bill’ was resurrected by a virus maker, who has been warning users of infected computers that their IP-address is on a blacklist after it was discovered distributing illegal content.

As a result, the SOPA virus holds all files on the host computer ransom.

“Your computer is locked!” the splash screen above warns, adding:

If you see a warning.txt or warning screen, it means your IP address was included in S.O.P.A. Black List. One or more of the following items were made from your PC:

1. Downloading or distributing audio or video files protected by Copyright Law.
2. Downloading or distributing illegal content (child porn, phishing software, etc.)
3. Downloading or distributing Software protected by Copyright Law.

As a result of these infringements based on Stop Online Piracy Act (H.R. 3261) your PC and files are now blocked.

The SOPA virus is so-called ransomware, meaning that it holds computers hostage and only promises to free data after victims hand over cash. In the U.S. and Canada people are instructed to pay with a MoneyPak prepaid voucher, and in other parts of the world they can use Western Union.

Those who don’t pay within three days are in trouble, the virus maker warns.

“WARNING!!!: If you don’t pay the fine within 72 HOURS at the amount of 200 USD, all your computer data will be erased.”

People who are affected should of course ignore all the above. Searching online for “Stop Online Piracy Automatic Protection System Removal”” is a better option, there are plenty of ways to defeat the resurrected SOPA and get your data back.

((I got hit by one of these fuckers before, you have to restart your computer in safe mode and follow a load of instructions you find online to get rid of it. Fuckin annoying thing))

He froze. She was kissing him, but he could barely register it. It was like, like the stars were blinking out from…

“I never do any thing wrong?” His voice was incredulous and carried some of his frustration. “Betty, I exist. I’m alive when I shouldn’t be and the repercussions of the decision I made all those ears ago to go save a stupid kid made me into a living weapon. Do you really think the experiments that gave you your accident would’ve been authorized if I’d just died like I was supposed to?” He shook his head and got up to his kitchenette.
“Maybe your transformation is different. And you do have your after to protect you. But, if it hadn’t been for my work, my stupidity, and my accidental survival… You’d be a normal woman. You’d be able to live a normal life.” He said this while pulling out chamomile tea bags and taking out a tea pot. He needed to calm down. Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
He let his voice settle, rather than climb. There was no reason to get upset. “I’m not God, but I did put those events into motion.”

“Bruce, calm down. It isn’t your fault. Not at all. Just. I can’t blame you. I can’t. No matter how much I wanted to, I never could. You saved someone. You saved the kid. How is that stupid? It wasn’t just your fault. It was mine too. You weren’t the only scientist on the project. 

“And whoever said I wanted to be normal. I don’t. I can’t be normal. I just… can’t. You can’t try to think about things that might change. It never does any good. Bruce, Robert, I love you. I will always love you. I will never be able to see you as a threat or see it as your fault.”

Betty walked over to him, she put her hand on his shoulder. “I need you. I will always need you.” Betty let out a small sigh and wrapped her arms around his neck, curling into his shoulder. “I love you, so much.”
