‘The virus, dubbed the 'Trojan Haka', forces a system reboot that ends with a black screen featuring a message in red writing: 'This is not us!'
The chilling manifesto was reportedly written by Australian-born Brenton Tarrant, 28,
who is accused of gunning down 50 Muslims in a terrorist attack two weeks ago.
The manifesto has been officially classified as objectionable by the Office of Film & Literature Classification in New Zealand.
Anyone with copies of the 'crude booklet that promotes murder and terrorism' is being urged to destroy them or face prosecution.
Despite the ban and removal from various websites it was initially posted to, copies are still circulating in dark corners of the web.
But an online vigilante going by the username 'Māori' is circulating a 'weaponised' version of the document in a bid to stop people from viewing it, the NZ Herald reported.
The 'booby-trapped' version was discovered by cyber security company Blue Hexagon, who have since dubbed it 'Trojan Haka'.
'Our initial suspicion was that this was targeting the press, but with all the data that we have now, it looks like it was not one specific group, just anyone who was trying to get a copy of the manifesto,' Blue Hexagon researcher Irfan Asrar told PC Mag.
Since the terror attack, several people have been charged under for possessing or distributing the manifesto.’
