The name decocidio is a type of word play. The noun consists of the stem deco- and the suffix -cidio:
- deco- is an anagram for the word code
- -cidio originates from the Latin caedere, which means to kill. It's the Spanish variant of the suffix -cide, as in homicide (Sp.: homicidio)
Decocidio refers to the act of killing code.

European Climate Exchange
On 23 July 2010 at 23:23 UTC, decocidio #ϴ targeted the public website of the European Climate Exchange, a leading marketplace for trading CO2 emissions in Europe.
