Hybris typically comes from an email that appears to be from "hahaha" email ID. Malicious "plug-ins" enhanced Hybris's functionality to include various other e-mail types. Other plugin functionalities include a spinning "wheel of hypnosis."
The name Hybris originates from the text within the virus: "HYBRIS" "(c) Vecna".
