The first computer virus wasn't an attack -- it was a 1971 experiment. Creeper hopped between ARPANET computers flashing 'I'M THE CREEPER: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.' There was no damage; it was a proof of concept. The response, Reaper, became the first antivirus by chasing Creeper across the network. That same idea -- patch and remove bad code remotely -- is now essential to securing IoT and embedded devices. fluidwire.com
