Virus Hoaxes of the Early Internet
🕑 Added 2020-09-11 21:58:20 +0000 UTCEvening folks,
I hope all is well.
The past week or so, I've been doing a bit of digging about viruses hoaxes of the early internet. I thought I'd explore a bit of virus hoax history before storming into some examples we witnessed during the 90s.
I hope you enjoy!

I like to think that slowly, the masses are learning.

I remember when I first heard about computer virii as a kid and I thought they were actual physical entities that could transmit from floppy to floppy just by being stacked together.

I like that you know people who don't still fall for things like this. I also hate that I have to do an sodding online "cyber security" course at work, because a lot of my coworkers are stupid.
