There are many "strains" of malware that are open about the fact that they are malware and are intended to entertain the end user. Some examples include MEMZ and many others created for YouTuber Danooct1's Viewer-Made Malware series and Twitch Streamer Joel "Vargskelethor" Johansson's Windows Destruction streams. We should talk about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DatGuyonYouTube ( talk • contribs) 14:55, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

I informed Wikipedia through the e-mail info-en@wikimedia.org, but I also believe everyone should be able to read it here.
Zionist Jews hacked the site of the honest and trustable Orthodox Jews because they want to shut them up for telling the truth about them.

This is all.

In https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Malware&curid=20901&diff=857672483&oldid=855164213 , User:78.14.138.242 (in their only contribution to WP) added three links to antivirusgratis.org. Is this a bona fide site? Also, if I follow the link to https://www.antivirusgratis.org/, my Firefox tells me:
If I look at the archive https://web.archive.org/web/20180412214339/https://www.antivirusgratis.org/, I see that it is/was a Spanish-language site; that seems to me probably sufficient reason to remove these links, but I have not actually done so (so far).

In this revision, @ Aegean Blue Sea: added this unsourced description of "Hazardware", considerably copy-edited by me:
@ Bruce1ee: reverted this with Twinkle saying please provide a source, which I thought might be a little abrupt and discouraging: on the one hand this article does seem to attract low-quality and dubious additions, but on the other, the topics of IoT and user understanding seem relevant but are barely touched on here. I found the probable source of this contribution at the sometimes criticised site academia.edu. [1] As I write the authors are unknown to Wikipedia. Dinos A. Kerigan-Kyrou I could not read the publication¿s? without registering, which I was reluctant to do, given Academia.edu § Criticism and the conflicting ratings by Web of Trust users, but I imagine it is probably bona fide. The term "hazardware" was not found by the authors' organisations' sites' search functions, [2], so the connection seems uncertain. Searching the internet for "hazardware", I only found the above revision of this article, the above paper¿s? and other meanings such as a dodgy assembly of components [3].
Can we not nonetheless make use of the above ideas?

I read this section and edited out a preamble that I thought extraneous, but am reflecting that Website Vulnerability Scans are more to do with checking the site for coding errors that could leave the site vulnerable to crafted attacks. By and large malware attacks the computers that host websites rather than the site itself. Maybe that whole section is extraneous? I didn't feel quite confident to delete it.
