God said there's like 20 or 80 E.T.s in the Universe.
He said to fight them.
God jokes mostly.
God says...
7:19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten;
it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean
shall eat thereof.
7:20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace
offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon
him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
7:21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the
uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean
thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which
pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his
people.
7:22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 7:23 Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or
of sheep, or of goat.

Rummy! Imna be the first sci fi guy to write about space weather!
If you run the numbers on signal strength there is only a tiny number of stars that are close enough that we could receive anything that was not sent directly to us using a stupidly powerful and tightly focused beam. As in if there where a repeater on the closest star that sent out a 1 to 1 copy of every omnidirectional radio signal from earth we would not be able to hear it.
What? This is the most ridiculous thing I've read in the past month.
Extraterrestrials would have to target specific buffer overflow bugs or something in SETI executable code, which to know about, basically means they're already visiting Earth in UFO's and walking around NASA as spies. And if they're already doing that, I don't think they need to create a computer virus to accomplish their goals.
There's no such thing as a "general" computer virus. Viruses are OS/program-specific.
This article/headline is pure science fiction, and pretty bad fiction at that.
Indeed, a better plot would be to use social engineering to let us build the virus/whatever for them:
they send us instructions on how to create some beautiful technology (e.g. a fake superluminar com) which is so obscure and intricate that it hides his real goal: a sophisticated AI which would then study us and plan for next move <put here your evil plan of choice>.
