A 10-minute video reportage about Mikko Hypponen's trip to Lahore, Pakistan, to find the authors of the first PC virus "Brain". This is the first time Amjad Farooq Alvi and Basit Farooq Alvi have given a video interview about the virus, which spread around the world via floppy disks in 1986.

  • OMG this was so amazing. I got goosebumps. I live in the same city Lahore in Pakistan. :)

  • @timogoosen And there were Amiga viruses that preceded Brain. Brain was the first PC virus, which is relevant as we are still fighting PC viruses today.
