RANDOM MUTATED CODE. “A limited number of random mutation of computer viruses have been recorded, caused by data corruption in transit, or by a failure of system memory or disks. One example is the single byte modification in the 1704 strain of the IBM Cascade virus, detected in Yugoslavia. This has been attributed to random corruption rather than to deliberate modification. Some newer viruses incorporate self-correcting codes to avoid such in-transit corruption.”
