CyberNews is offering a crash course on the history of cybersecurity and hacking. We’ll flash back to the past and talk about some of the most infamous security breaches thus far. You’re right to think of cybersecurity as a pretty modern issue, it’s almost impossible not to be aware of its importance.
🔲 Story begins in 1971, when the message “I’m the creeper, catch me if you can” greeted several users of the ARPANET, one of the earliest forms of the internet.
🔲 Fast forward to 1989, when the first recorded Denial-of-Service attack in history occurred.
🔲 That same year was the first known ransomware attack. Although poorly designed and easily removed, the AIDS_Trojan was created to extort money.
🔲 The SSL 2.0 version that was released in ’95 was the bedrock for the ‘HTTPS,’ which you’ll often see at the beginning of web addresses - when browsing securely.
🔲 Love was in the air in 2000, when over ten million Windows users were infected with the ILOVEYOU bug. The fastest-spreading worm in computer history, at that time.
🔲 2002 was an exciting year! Not only was the highly anticipated second Lord of the rings movie released, it was also the birth year of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
🔲 Then, Anonymous was born, the first infamous group of hackers known the world over. This group has a vast network of users with seemingly no leader, often acting in the interest of protecting the privacy of the everyday person.
🔲 2010 saw the strike of ‘’Operation Aurora.’’ This was the year Google announced a coordinated breach of its infrastructure in China.
🔲 In 2013, yahoo fell victim to one of the largest-scale hacks in history, when over 3 billion user accounts were compromised.
🔲 All that can be seen as a crescendo to probably the most infamous cybersecurity breach of all time: 2016’s Wikileaks.

You should make a guide on how to become a white hat hacker and what it actually means to be one. Because right now most people hear the word hacker and think of the same old cliche.
Great idea, thanks for your suggestion!
Nice vid, cool and informative
Glad you liked it!
the main difference between old school and modern hackers is the black hoodie and laptop 🤣
Simple , hacking is a mindset, a culture. Cybersecurity is part of corporate appropriation and fulfilling a company's need for proper security roles and procedures.
As a cyber security nerd I much rather appreciate having a glimpse of privacy. Everyone who has a computer needs to know the best way to protect their data, even though perfection is impossible.
true
The hacks in the past seem so mild compared to what we are getting nowadays. The future is looking grim if we keep depending on technology for everything while cyber crime is getting more sophisticated.
We are more prepared for the hacks than people back then though!
Great video! Perhaps you'll do some videos about specific people from the cyber security field? Past or present. For example Edward Snowden, Alan Turing or someone less known.
Great suggestion!
@@cybernews More modern figures in addition to Snowden, on defense in the private sector as well.
Where can I learn cyber security myself or does anyone know colleges that have cyber security as a major all I know is USC?
Start with doing some CTF
IT degrees always have a cyber security specialization and a lot of community colleges offer a program for cyber security as well.

Windows 98 was in 98, v2 was 99... right?
Hey, Windows release dates from June 1998 to September 2000 were:

May 5, 1999 ➡️ Windows 98 SE IA-32
February 17, 2000 ➡️ Windows 2000
