L.A. Noire puts the 'crim' back in criminal

The man behind the fiendishly clever yet dangerously simple Anna Kournikova worm has been hailed by the SMH Web site as a 'virus mastermind'. The 20 year old Dutchman, known only by the deceptively innocuous tag 'OntheFly', turned himself over to Dutch authorities in what we at Atomic believe is merely a clever ploy to lull the world into a false sense of security.

Sure, you may scoff that the virus, which was all over the newspapers and mainstream news the day of its release, was written in a freely available worm generator. And while you laugh, while you point and giggle, the real plan of this virus mastermind will come to fruition.

Atomic reporters have yet to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding OntheFly's maniacal plans, but Ben Mansill and his sidekick David Hollingworth are dressed in scuba gear with dinner suits underneath, ready to spring to action at a moment's notice. If you have any great Martini recipes to keep our heroes amused while they wait to save the world, let us know.
