Second, its a Trojan/Malicious Bot. For it to be a virus, that program would have to self replicate and spread to other computer systems wich it dose not. Noobs.
Aaaaaand lastly, like I said, hackers would not really care to do this. Amature crackers would, but still that is not the problem. What I am worried about are people higher up and rival goverments using stunts like this to control the world, wich I sad to say has most likely has already happend.
I mean, even though all systems can be broken, there was still some safty with the Analog Method that could only be ruined by human stupidity. With digital, now we have human stupidity and human deviousness working together to help build a better America!
