I wrote one in VB class that would play the system beep sound in a loop. The computers were so shitty that that would overheat them in a few seconds as they screamed.

oh man. back in school we made a lot of dumb shit like this. friend got a box of 128mb usb sticks with erroneous branding and we put autorun ‘viruses’ that just spammed popups, opened the cd drive, played weird sounds, etc.
same day as we left them in various places in the school there was an announcement not to use “fake usb sticks” found in the building because they have viruses

I put them out of their misery. They were tortured for yeas before I showed up.

Were you vacationing in Iran in 2008-09 by any chance?

Funny little viruses like playing sounds, opening CD drives, and dismantling the industrial infrastructure of a nations nuclear program.

Back when Iran has been actively developing a nuclear program (they claimed it was for power plants), the US has infiltrated the uranium enrichment facility by secretly delivering a malicious USB stick that was then put into a computer and caused centrifuges to break by overriding the speed settings.
