In November 1983, U.S. computing student Fred Cohen created the very first computer virus as a research project during his studies. Little could he have known just what a can of worms (pun fully intended) he was opening with his discovery. This week marks the 20th anniversary of Cohen’s work on the Unix platform. To celebrate the occasion silicon.com threw a virtual birthday party and invited some seasoned campaigners from the anti-virus industry to discuss their thoughts on the previous two decades of malware.
This is a birthday I’d like to forget.
