terrorware

is malicious computer software, sometimes called a cyber weapon. It incorporates features of malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, worms, adulterated firmware and ransomware. It is deployed for the purpose of disrupting infrastructure and/or safety and security systems of a nation state. The Stuxnet Virus is a good example.
The computer science teacher discovered his students had accidentally released their virus homework assignment "into the wild" causing Homeland Security to pay his classroom a personal visit seeking the source of this latest terrorware.

The homework assignment had been mistaken for terrorware as it had prevented citizens from properly operating their voice-command driven television sets. Specifically offended was The First Lady who had been made to miss an episode of GLOW on Netflix and had instead endured The View on cable.
