Akuto S1LV3R1A

Original Listing

Akuto is an instance of the S1LV3R1A computer virus with a physical form. The S1LV3R1A program (a worm malware) was designed as a copy-cat of the ILOVEYOU worm in that it self-replicates and sends itself attached to emails in victims' address book with the tagline: 1L0V3Y0U. When a S1LV3R1A worm that is a copy of Akuto infects a machine, it relays that machine's MAC, physical address, and location data back to its source: Akuto. Akuto then hunts down the aforementioned PC and eats it. The effectiveness of S1LV3R1A is nowhere near as effective as the original ILOVEYOU worm was (partially due to the leet-speak tagline as opposed to using simple English.) Akuto often ends up starved because of this and is a particular danger to technology-based species (ex: Protogens, Synths, etc.)
