Computer Security Day is observed annually on November 30th and has been celebrated since 1988. This day was established to raise awareness about computer security issues and to promote the importance of securing computer systems and data.

The significance of this day is heightened by the fact that in 1988, the first major computer virus, known as the "Morris Worm," was unleashed by Robert Tappan Morris. This worm spread rapidly across the internet, affecting a significant portion of computers connected to the early network. The incident underscored the vulnerabilities in computer systems and highlighted the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
