In 1988, a computer science student named Robert Tappan Morris created a program that would go down in history as the first cyber security attack. Dubbed the Morris Worm, this program infected thousands of college networks across the United States, causing widespread panic and chaos.

In this epiosde of The Bug Bite hosted by Tech Coach Ralph, we delves into the fascinating story of the Morris Worm, exploring the motivations behind Morris’s actions and the far-reaching impact of his creation. We’ll take a deep dive into the technical aspects of the attack, discussing how it was able to spread so rapidly and what measures were taken to contain it.

As we explore the Morris Worm’s legacy, we’ll touch on the broader implications of cyber security attacks of this scale. From the increased importance of network security to the evolution of the internet as a whole, the Morris Worm serves as a cautionary tale of what can happen when we don’t take digital security seriously.

So if you’re interested in learning more about the cyber security attack that infected thousands of college networks in 1988, join us for this fascinating look at the history of the Morris Worm.
