Petards.

Back in the 80s I shared a flat with a guy doing PhD on computer viruses. He took a floppy down to the Atari lab to copy some software for our own machine, and managed to infect the entire lab with a virus.

The lab manager was very unimpressed.

Ah well, at least we got given some good anti-virus software and he got material for his thesis.
