Computers revolutionized global communication and data processing.

Did you know that the first computer virus was created in 1983 by a researcher named Fred Cohen? This virus, named "Brain," was designed to infect IBM PC computers and spread without causing any harm, purely as an experiment to demonstrate the concept of self-replicating programs.

Cohen's creation marked the beginning of a new era in cybersecurity, highlighting the potential dangers of malicious software. The "Brain" virus spread through infected floppy disks, showing how easily computers could be compromised by unseen threats.

This early example of a computer virus serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle between cybercriminals and cybersecurity experts. As technology continues to advance, so do the methods used to protect computers from evolving threats.
