The Email That Took Down the Military | The Melissa Virus

In March of 1999, hundreds of thousands of people around the world received a strange email in their inbox that, unbeknownst to them, would shut down all their online communication for several hours. This new email worm, called "Melissa," would become the worst computer virus in history at that time. Melissa may have been such a strange event in online history, but it was also a lesson for how we should behave on the internet.
