The virus attacked Octopus because his disguise was so thorough that it thought he was actually Anderson. And Octopus's nationallity can easily be retconned from Mexican to Nicaraguan. Either way he's still hispanic. I haven't put too much thought into this theory but to me it has made more sense than a lot of the other ones i have seen. Actually, going by what Vulcan Raven stated ("But the Angel of Death was not deceived"), it was more likely that FOXDIE did actually target Octopus himself, not Donald Anderson. Besides, why would Zero and the Patriots target one of their own, and who was actually loyal to the Zero faction?

Plus Jim Houseman confirmed that Donald was not a target due to being his friend and was also supposed to return alive with the REX data disc.
