Security software firm MessageLabs, has turned a number of cyber threats into works of art using the malicious computer code which forms them.

Alex Dragulescu created the images for six cyber security threats using code detected by MessageLabs, including viruses, phishing, spam, spyware and Trojans.

This is the Ghost spyware which saves the keystrokes, screen shots and websites visited. The information gathered can then be used for criminal purposes.
