Hahaha
The laptop was bought by G Data CyberDefense, a German company with 500 employees that prides itself on having built one of the first antivirus software programs in the 1980s. Hauke Gierow, a company spokesman, described the computer as “an old thing from the early 2000s.”
“It’s not the kind of thing you can use in your office,” he said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “We bought it purely out of curiosity.”
That included the chance that there might be something interesting on the hard drive, Mr. Gierow said — and the hunch turned out to be correct, even if the buyer didn’t realize it immediately.
