Lord Yup was born in Poland in 1985. His first computer was an Amiga 600HD. This computer at some point became infected with the Bytebandit virus. This probably sparked his interest in viruses, but he did not particularly care for programming on the Amiga.
At times, he would code script viruses on pieces of paper. His first virus was a VBS script named Dragonball, which he now describes as "lame". Some time later, he joined 29A, where he published the Wiedzmin virus along with a few articles. Later he was a member of TKT (The Knight Templars). One of his major achievements was the Tigraa virus, the second virus to infect certain types of Texas Instruments graphic calculators.
