Kimberley Vanvaeck,[1] also known by her online moniker Gigabyte,[2] is a virus writer from Belgium known for a long-standing dispute which involved the internet security firm Sophos and one of its employees, Graham Cluley.[1][3][4][5] Vanvaeck wrote several viruses, including Quis, Coconut and YahaSux (also called Sahay). She also created a Sharp virus (also called "Sharpei"), credited as being the first virus to be written in C#.[2][6]
Vanvaeck's dispute with Cluley began after he made several comments concerning the gender of virus writers.[6] This prompted Vanvaeck to write several viruses, that specifically targeted Cluley which were stated to be written as proof-of-concept rather than releasing them in the wild.[1]
