Computer viruses have been around for a couple of decades now. The first known computer virus was Wanda in 1982, although it failed to cause any damage. In 1989, Jerusalem virus was created; it infected over 60000 computers during the course of its release.

Mr. DOS has been arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) for creating this virus. The PNP has also confiscated all of his computers and other gadgets that are used for hacking purposes. The PNP said that it will file charges against Mr. DOS for violating Section 4(a)(1) of Republic Act No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

The first computer virus in the philippines was the chernobyl virus

The chernobyl virus was first detected in 1996. It was a boot sector virus that infected DOS and Windows 3.x systems. The virus was named after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The virus installs itself as a boot sector, but if it fails to do so, it will overwrite sectors of the disk where it is located with random data, making them unusable.

The chernobyl virus could be transmitted through removable media such as floppy disks and CD-ROMs or through networks like Ethernets and modems by using its own file transfer protocol (FTP). The first computer virus in the world was invented by students at the Moscow State University of Technology and Management.

About 56,000 computers were affected by this computer worm in the philippines, costing millions of dollars in damage due to its massive reproduction

The first computer virus in the Philippines was a worm known as ‘KakWorm’. The virus was discovered on March 28, 2001 by Filipino IT professional Joselito Luelmo, who was then a member of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission.

The first ‘KakWorm’ virus attacked the country’s Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) mainframe computer system at Camp Crame in Quezon City. It infected the tax agency’s computer network and spread quickly through government offices and banks throughout Metro Manila. KakWorm could also be transmitted over dial-up connections or through floppy disks or CDs.

The virus caused widespread panic among businesses and government agencies because it disabled their systems for days and resulted in long lines outside banks when people tried to pay bills manually instead of electronically.

In addition, it also caused slowdowns and glitches on over 2 million computers worldwide

The first computer virus in the Philippines was first reported in 1991. The virus, which came from the United States, caused slowdowns and glitches on over 2 million computers worldwide.

The virus was called Michelangelo, also known as Michelangelo Virus or MS-DOS/Windows 3.0 Virus.

It was created by an American teenager named Robert Tappan Morris Jr., who later became a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was sentenced to three years’ probation, 400 hours of community service, and a fine of $10,000 (around P440,000) after pleading guilty to violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

The Michelangelo virus is considered one of the first known computer viruses since it replicated itself by attaching itself to other programs in computers or storage devices such as floppy disks. It could also be transmitted through network connections or when users exchanged floppy disks with each other. According to some reports, Morris Jr.’s intention was not malicious.

Conclusion

It is risky to store important computer files or information in mobiles devices that are regularly connected to the Internet. Some viruses attack your app, a few website logins, and some software you installed. It will be an advantage if they have a backup somewhere else. For example, in Google Drive Apps, Dropbox Apps and OneDrive Apps. Because these three apps are designed to have a constant connection with the Internet.
