How it started VS how it's going: Brain - first PC virus in history #shorts

#Brain #virus #security #PC
Two brothers from Pakistan decided to protect the program they built and created the world’s first-ever virus ‘Brain’, which damaged the computers on which their software was illegally installed.

They just wanted to protect their intellectual property but ended up creating a viral epidemic, which infected over 100,000 computers. But it was thanks to ‘Brain’ that John McAfee, later, created the world’s first antivirus. And so the battle between viruses and antivirus began.

Sumsub — empowering compliance and anti-fraud teams to fight money laundering, terrorist financing, and online fraud.

How ironic the first computer virus came from the most expected place

I love how the first virus was in fact DRM software. But now for some reason DRM is normalized and protected by law

Wow, this looks interesting. I didn’t knew that McAfee was the first antivirus ever. Sadly how now it became garbage

As a Pakistani, I am kinda proud of them
