In an exceptional act of trolling Masato Nakatsuji, 27, of Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture, has been arrested on suspicion of writing a computer virus, dubbed the Ikatako (squid-octopus) virus” that replaces all files on the infected PC with homemade manga images of squid, octopuses and sea urchins. The virus was spread using the Winny P2P program.

Masato Nakatsuji told police “I wanted to see how much my computer programming skills had improved since the last time I was arrested.” Yes you read that right. And obviously no, your skills are not better as you still got caught. On the bright side for victims, if you get infected your files are transferred to his server before replacement so you can get your data back.

Best Virus Evar!
