概要

In 1999, David Smith created the Melissa virus, which spread rapidly via Microsoft Word email attachments, causing $1.1 billion in damages and infecting major organizations like Microsoft and the US Marine Corps.

Melissa revealed vulnerabilities in popular software and the need for better cybersecurity.
