While this is egregious, it doesn't wipe your disk. It writes a text file to the desktop.

Depends on where you live. It writes a file for people outside Russia and Belarus and deletes files for those in Russia and Belarus

It was deleted.

Make sure the company mentioned up-thread that plans on criminally prosecuting them for war crime aiding and abetting will get ahold of that, so they know which name to go after.

// A 50% chance that all of your files will get overwritten.
// It's actually 62.5%, somehow. -Seq
if (Math.round(Math.random() * 4) > 1) return;

x4 makes the range [0,4] so (1,4] is 75% of range. Rounding down [1,1.5) to 1 is 1/8th of total range made not >1. 75% - 12.5% = 62.5%
