"SB/BadBunny-A spreads by dropping malicious script files that affect the
behavior of the popular IRC programs mIRC and X-Chat, causing them send
SB/BadBunny-A to other users. These malicious script files are named
badbunny.py (for XChat) and script.ini (for mIRC, overwriting the existing
mIRC file) and are also detected as SB/BadBunny-A."
