Along with the development of technologies, artificial intelligence, information systems, their “dark side” – cyber attacks and “viruses” is also developing. Computer “viruses”, like biological ones, also mutate and develop.

Since 1987, they have entered the system and influenced the data in it: they “ate” the data, encrypted it, manipulated it, and manipulated it. For example, a virus that copied your data to the end of the space on the “C” drive, or a virus that overloaded the processor up to 100%.

The next major leap in mutation came in 2012: the “ivchetoo” or “hallmark” virus appeared, which physically burned the hard drive. This virus has been declared by CNN “as the most malicious”.
