Zombies in the Night

to the tune of: Strangers in The Night

by Richard Tornello


Zombies in the night exchanging IP addresses
Knowing in the night financial exchanges
Would be flowing in to accounts before the facts were known.

Something in your computer was so inviting
Lack of security was so delighting
Something in your accounts showed me you were the one

Zombies in the night
Two lonely ISPs, compromised zombies in the night
Up to the moment when we first took over, little did you know
Loss was just a key stroke away, an empty bank account away

And

Ever since that night we've been together
Muggers in the line, stealing data forever
It turned out so profitable for zombies in the night

All that was yours just a key stroke away, a quick electron jump away

Ever since that night we've been together
Muggers in the line, stealing data forever
It turned out so profitable for zombies in the night.

Do we do we do, control alt delete, no use.
