        I had FF3 broken up into a few files and renamed and disbursed through the school network so I’d just pull them all into a local file at the computer I was working at in the lab and play during class. I thought I was the shit.

      To be fair, it’s pretty smart to exploit the flaws in VB to make malware.

      Are they? Because if the worm is successfully spreading… 🤷

      It’s funny, though…

      I’m not following. VBScript seems like the right tool. Why would they use something else? They’re generally light years beyond US defense capabilities so there’s a real dearth of suffering on their side.

      Now if the joke is that they’re suffering because they have to use VBScript, I can get behind that

        WScript.Echo “Just saying if I was invited onto a team intent on wreaking havoc upon our enemies, I would probably quit after 100 lines of calling windows apis in VBScript” & vbNewLine
