Someone‘s spreading an MBR-trashing copy of the Christchurch killer‘s ‚manifesto‘ – and we‘re OK with this, maybe?

Hacktivists are spreading booby-trapped copies of the New Zealand mass shooter‘s Islamophobic rantings, in what is being described as an online „vigilante“ operation.

Security house Blue Hexagon claims it discovered a version of the killer‘s manifesto doing the rounds online containing Windows malware that, when executed with the necessary privileges, reboots the system and leaves the user staring at an anti-racist message.
