🖍️ 🛀🏿 💱 "Morris Worm": the history of the virus, the principle of action and interesting facts 🈳 🖕 🤬

America was shocked when on November 2, 1988, almost all computers that had access to the Internet (in America) at about eight o’clock in the morning, as they say, were “frozen”. At first it was attributed to failures in the power system. But then, when there was an epidemic caused by the Morris Worm, it became clear that the terminals were attacked by an unknown program at that time, containing code that could not be decrypted by the available means. Not surprising! At that time, computers connected to the Internet numbered only tens of thousands (approximately 65,000 terminals) and were mostly represented in government circles or self-government bodies.
