A laptop running on Windows XP loaded with six of the most destructive pieces of malware is being sold at an auction with bidding over $1.2 Million around Rs 8 Crores.

These viruses have caused nearly $100 billion of damages worldwide, and some of them are still floating around on the Internet.

It is Titled as 'The Persistence of Chaos'. It is a simple Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-inch laptop (2008), which is currently running Windows XP (Service Pack 3), and is loaded with six different Malware.

ILOVEYOU, MyDoom, SoBig, WannaCry, Dark Tequila, and BlackEnergy are the 6 viruses kept in that laptop.

The device is so dangerous that it is being kept isolated and air-gapped, so that viruses cannot escape and spread elsewhere.

The laptop can be seen Live on Twitch
