I've thought it would be cool to make a virus that doesn't do the usual but a specific person.

You the programmer get a request to target John K Smith you make a virus specifically for that person. Then the virus is released where infects anything it can and if it finds John K Smith it deletes or permanently encrypts the info.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is a fun problem to think about - you don't want to reveal the target, but you also don't want to be detected (gotta poison backups)... so indiscriminate destruction doesn't work.
