Just wondering if "scrap code" used by Chaos forces during the Horus Heresy series of books would work in this trope. It may be too literal though, as the data in this case is literally corrupted by demons and such.
"Soon the corruption spread throughout the forges and temples across the Red Planet as scrap code — Chaos-contaminated digital source code that was infected with an arcane computer virus — infested the logi-stacks and Cogitator (computer) archives of the Adeptus Mechanicus, causing literal Chaos to emerge in any Cogitator system that was networked to one of its infected counterparts"
