Bitdefender put together this cool graphic that tracks the history of malware. In the early days, many of the worms were written by so-called script kiddies looking for some recognition. Fast forward to last year, where Stuxnet was written specifically to criple Iranian nuclear facilities -- and as it has now been publically disclosed has become the blueprint for other attacks. In 2011, it was the year of the rootkit, with Android proving vulnerable. In a blast from the past, this summer Windows users were treated to Morto, a worm spreading by Windows Remote Desktop.
How many of these outbreaks can you remember? How many affected your network?
