Virus (Powerword: Michael Daniel Nieves) was part of an extinct species of the genus Homo, possibly a subspecies of Homo sapiens, who started stealing AOL accounts several years after AOL started to become irrelevant. He is closely related to Xbox Live E-thugs, differing in DNA by only 0.3%, just twice the variability across contemporary script kiddies. Remains left by virus include a stack of AOL trial CDs, a few post-it notes covered with Lexis Nexis logins, and a copy of Kevin Mitnick's The Art of Deception, all of which were found in the Staten Island area.
