The ILOVEYOU virus entered our lives on May 4, 2000. As soon as the virus appeared, it affected more than 45 million computers in just 24 hours. The virus, which sent users an email called LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU, so they could steal their users’ passwords and access their Microsoft Outlook address book. So much so that even the Pentagon was affected by this virus. That is why Love Bug, which is called the virtual world coronavirus, has been forgotten after 20 years. But today is her anniversary. ILOVEYOU creator, 44-year-old Filipino hacker Onel de Guzmán, also made a statement full of special confessions for his anniversary.
THE PURPOSE OF ILOVEYOU IS ONLY INTERNET
Onel de Guzmán said that with the ILOVEYOU virus he created, his goal was only to access the Internet. However, according to Onel de Guzman’s explanations, the goals have diverged slightly and ILOVEYOU has become a global virus. Guzmán also makes it clear that he never predicted and planned to become such a global virus. De Guzmán tells the story of the virus in a very interesting way.
WHEN THE HACKER AVINA POLICE COMES …
De Guzman reportedly originally sent the ILOVEYOU virus to a person in Singapore and then went to drink it with his friends. While having fun with his friends, ILOVEYOU began reading his life if thousands of computers did. De Guzmán understood the chaos experienced thanks to his mother. Her mother said she was looking for a hacker where the local police lived. Then De Guzmán realized how great the cause was.
ONEL also did not escape the Law
After realizing the gravity of the situation, de Guzman’s mother hid her son’s computer equipment. But no matter how much he was hiding, De Guzmán could not escape punishment. The creator of the virus was sentenced to prison for a time, then went back to work on the computer. After all this, De Guzmán accepted his guilt and remorse today.
‘Lament’
Expressing that he was responsible for the virus, Love Bug’s father said: “I am sorry that I encoded the virus.” Now, the eyes come from the people who were affected by Love Bug. Because de Guzman’s spiritual amnesty depends on them.
