Did anyone bother to follow some links and find the blog of the lady that owns the site?
I didn't feel like sorting through 86 pages to find it. Anyways here are some excerpts(sp?)....
"So the bug — or virus, or spyware, or, whatever it is — is now apparently counting down to something, and that something looks like it's going to happen while I am somewhere in Szechuan province and I can't fix it and yeah it's creeping me out and yeah I'm not happy about this. (The recent appearance of words like "mayday", "metastasize", "hemorrhage," and "classified" isn't cheering me up, either.) "
Either way you slice it, someone has at least taken the time to write about this supposed hacking....there is a message to be found here.
Also I believe the countdown of the weird hijack thing is counting down to August 24th. This is something significant to Bungie as in the blog several events that have happened before
on August 24th are listed. Here is the list.
"Aug 24, 1995 Microsoft inflicts Windows 95 on an unsuspecting world.

I went hiking in Claremont Canyon yesterday to clear my head. Three hours, six miles, and 1000 ft elevation change later, I was sweaty, sunburnt and still fixated on the bug and its countdown. While up there, didn't pay enough attention to the trail... scratched my palms slipping on loose gravel, more than once. Now it hurts to type.

You know the special dates that mean something to you, but not everyone else? (For me, March 21 will always be the day I got called to the Vice Principal's office for cutting 8th-grade chorus. I think it's because I have a permanently ingrained mental image of the yellow hall pass that was sent from the VP’s office to collect me.)
