- Self-healing (of sorts).
- Able to spread via multiple vectors
- Falling back to increasingly stealthy and unlikely vectors
- Actively hampering efforts at eradication
However (and I am trying to phrase this delicately) A few other notable security researchers need to cross-verify that the infection agent exists and behaves in the fantastical manner described.
I am somewhat worried that this seems
1) Either like a gigantic hoax that is trying to see how much people will believe or
2) The security researcher in question has other issues unrelated to security or
3) Some kind of viral marketing campaign for a book/movie/game something else
