This day, January 22, 22 years ago Robert Tappan Morris had become the very first person convicted for "computer hacking". He created the first computer "worm", that infected 6000 UNIX servers all over the Internet

Guess what. He was PG's co-founder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tappan_Morris and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_worm
