Currently, the main purpose of various malware is to steal users' credit card information and identity information. Some hackers even use malware to paralyze nuclear power plants. In addition, modern hackers are very careful that these attacks are generally very concealed. However, this is not the case with past malware. Compared with stealing accounts for profit, the old generation of hackers prefer to use viruses to destroy others' computers. They are proud of these behaviors. They often make a variety of mocking words on the victim's screen to show off.

However, these viruses are rare now. The vulnerabilities they often exploit have long been completely blocked by Microsoft or new protection mechanisms. Recently, an Internet Archive has made a big Summary of such viruses, allowing us to get a glimpse of its history. The malware museum was built by Mikko Hypponen, chief resource officer of F-secure, a Finnish Security Company, to collect some MS-DOS viruses from the 80 s and 1990s S.

In the museum, you can download these viruses, but their destructive kernels have been completely removed, leaving only visual effects. Among these viruses, the most impressive one is "LSD. COM". After being poisoned, your computer will be completely blurred (such as a question map ). After you browse this museum, you will find that hackers in the past are quite simple. They will either intentionally destroy your hardware, or they are completely playing a prank.
