HybrisIt should be noted that Hybris is also an alternative name for the Goddess Hubris. Hybris, also known as Snow White, Vecna.22528, and Full Moon, is a computer worm believed to be written by Brazillian virus writer Vecna, member of the computer virus writing group 29A. It first appeared in September 2000 and became more common in January 2001. Hybris is probably best remembered for the email it distributes itself in, typically coming from hahaha@sexyfun.net. Malicious "plug-ins" enhanced Hybris's functionality to include various different other email types. Other plugin functionalities include a spinning "wheel of hypnosis." The name "Hybris" originates from the text within the virus: "HYBRIS" "(c) Vecna".
