The Nimda virus (as opposed to the word admin) exploded the world of cybercrime in 2001 and quickly became the most powerful.In just 22 minutes Nimda has gone from an unknown to the most common computer virus on the planet.But how?

It was distributed via email, through websites and found vulnerabilities in corporate networks. Nimba has covered all the possible channels for distributing information over the network. He even used old backdoors discovered by past viruses to get to servers and spoil Internet traffic.

 Nimda appeares during the days of September 11's attacks, which prompted many to think that this was the first wave of Al-Qaeda's new cyberterrorism policy.However, these fears turned out to be unfounded.

Several networks may have been hacked by a virus, but our Internet infrastructure is standing still today.
