Worms is, alas, something we have gotten pretty used nowadays. Most of them, (all?) are created with negative purposes and usually causes a lot of chaos. Few know how it all started and this is something th people over at The Tech Zone wants to change. They have namely published an article on the first worm on the Internet, how and who created this worm at the very youth of the internat, I.e. the end of the 80s. The creator, Robert Tappan Morris, was caught and convicted for computer fraud. The dad of the 23 year old Morris was ironically working as a security expert at NSA (National Security Agency) during this period. The article contains some interesting reading about Robert Morris creation and how he then went on to become an IT-millionaire and professor at MIT.
