It seems so long ago when in 1986 Brain Brain was written by two brothers Basit, Amjad, Who had a computerstore in Pakistan.
The reason that they wrote the virus was that they got tired of people making illegal copies of the programs that was sold in the computer store. The virus Brain was the first bootsector virus and spread from floppy disk to floppy disk.
What is the top malware you can remember through the years. The worm MyDoom represented the greatest destructive malicious software threat that was released so far with 38bn dollars worth of damages followed by ILOVEYOU with 15bn. Tequila the worlds first Polymorphic virus. Talking about Polymorphic virus Virut was one of the nastiest critters I came across. A bug in it destroyed the data beyond repair. Then the latest Stuxnet worm thats groundbreaking piece of malware so devious in its use of unpatched vulnerabilities, so sophisticated in its multipronged approach, that the security researchers who tore it apart believe it may be the work of state-backed professionals.
