at 6:06: once again, only if they run it.
at 6:18: also because whoever created the virus got access to the accounts of said devs and uploaded stage 0 files.
at 6:34: they are now known as the Minecraft Malware Prevention Alliance, or MMPA
at 7:44: spoiler alert: i stayed up for 3 more hours editing and writing all of this
