The Crazies: More Viral Updates Scott Caldwell, January 14, 2010 Whether or not you want to call this a clue or a way to get people excited over a change to viral site, it’s enough for us at MovieViral to get it out there and see what happens.A while back we talked about the new site of DP Chemicals and the fact that there is the possibility of a hack. Well, depending on how YOU read into it, that possibility is a bit closer. Now when you go through the motions to get the password on the screen (and stay there), the symbol for “Omega” is there.
