Antimalware Day: The evolution of malicious code

Minimalist · Nov 2, 2018

Since 2017, November 3 has been celebrated as Antimalware Day. Established by ESET, Antimalware Day aims to honor the work done by researchers in the field of information security and in the technology industry as a whole. As ours is an era in which technology plays a crucial role and is found in almost everything that surrounds us, this special date is also intended to highlight the importance of protecting users from cyberthreats and increasing their awareness of dangers on the Internet.

As part of our celebration of Antimalware Day, we will review how the concept of a computer virus came into being, examine the first active threat and the first antivirus software, as well as look back at some of the most important cybersecurity threats of the past four decades.
