In 1971, the first ever computer virus was developed. Named Creeper, it was made as an experiment just to see how it spread between computers.

The virus simply displayed the message: “I’m the creeper, catch me if you can!”

The first virus ever released into the wild was called Brain, which also wasn’t harmful. However, it was the very first IBM PC virus.
