This Week in Tech History Jan 17 – 23
January 20, 1999: The Happy99 Worm Surfaces
The Happy99 worm first wiggled through Microsoft Windows arriving in an email or a news post attachment named Happy99.exe. It cleverly displaying fireworks to hide the changes that were being wishing users Happy New Year!
The classification of the Happy99’s as a worm, virus, or trojan, caused some good debates. Because the user had to activate the worm, some stated it is evidence that it is a trojan. However, others argued that since it modifies WSOCK32.DLL, means that it is a virus. The Virus Encyclopedia took the stand that it’s a worm because it is an independent program that moves through computers and networks.
This attack was one of the first of several attacks that struck Microsoft Windows computers over the next several years. The cost to businesses and individuals to resolve the issues has not been disclosed.
