SCP-XXXX is a software anomaly. It's origins are unknown, although it may be in very close relation to SCP-079. SCP-XXXX consists of code fluctuations throughout software that is stored on the host machine. If it is not immediately disconnected from any path that leads to the internet, or any other device that is connected to the internet, it will automatically spread to other machines. Usually machines in a radius of 1 kilometer. If it encounters some kind of EMP along it's way to the internet, all of it's corrupted code will be scrambled, making it stop. Although it isn't "dead", it can only be so if all the corrupted files that it generated until that moment are deleted. It is not yet known how to "fix" this anomaly, as access to the host machine through digital technology is completely prohibited, since the anomaly may spread to other devices even if they aren't connected to the internet at the time of infection. The anomaly may then spread to others until it reaches a clear path to the internet, where it could infect entire cities worth of electronic devices.
The hardware of the host machine could not be completely identified, although it is known that the RAM memory can be from two (2) Gigabytes to four (4) Gigabytes, and it is also known that the processor has a maximum frequency of 1.8GHz. The video processor model is [REDACTED] but it's memory size is not yet known.
The anomaly grows in terms of data size every day and "reacts" if any changes are being made to the host machine through electricity impulses. Every electrical instrument that has been used for research over SCP-XXXX, both through direct and indirect contact and communication with the host machine have been incinerated, and have not been connected to other "safe" devices.
The way SCP-XXXX responds to changes to it's host makes the scenario in which the anomaly is a very early iteration of SCP-079 far more plausible. In that case, SCP-XXXX would be a poorly developed version of SCP-079, a shadow of what it's successor was soon to become. It would have taken a completely other path than it's successor, minimizing intelligence and prioritizing spreading and multiplication of itself. This is the most probable case, there is no other way such an anomaly would have developed, if not from another anomaly.
There have not been any other infections confirmed yet, even though we are sure it has already duplicated and uploaded somewhere. Right now, the host machine must be kept on in order to prevent the anomaly from shutting down, as it could lower it's integrity.
It has been confirmed that a possible [REDACTED] has occurred before the device was fully disconnected from the internet, after the detection of the anomaly. There are currently [REDACTED] Kilobytes of data that contain code fluctuations die to SCP-XXXX on the host machine. Every file that has code fluctuations is being closely examined at the [DATA EXPUNGED] Research Center.
As of right now, SCP-XXXX is a dangerous software anomaly, since it can render an entire machine useless due to the amount of corrupted files it generates throughout the system of the host machine if it gets out of hand.
