Chainstorm Virus

The Chainstorm Virus first appeared in the Mumbai Chain Node on October 15, 2045. Initially dismissed as a minor glitch, it demonstrated an unprecedented ability to self-modify and evolve. Investigation has revealed three distinct phases of the virus:

1. Infiltration Phase (Days 1-30)

• Virus embedded itself in verification protocols

• Created backdoors in security systems

• Replicated across major network nodes

• Remained completely undetected

1. Corruption Phase (Days 31-60)

• Began subtle manipulation of transaction data

• Introduced cascading errors in smart contracts

• Corrupted backup systems

• Created false transaction histories

1. Collapse Phase (Days 61-90)

• Triggered simultaneous failures across all major systems

• Encrypted critical infrastructure controls

• Destroyed digital identities

• Initiated chain reaction of system failures
