Morris inherited knowledge from his father in the context of computers, which was then a computer scientist at Bell Labs and later in the NSA. In 1988, when he was a student at Cornell University, he created Morris Worm to measure the size of the Internet. Because computers can be infected more than once, so computers are gradually slowed due to repeated infections.
Because of this virus of Morris, about 6000 computers became unusable. So Morris was arrested in 1989 because he violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

He used these machines to help the advertising companies, for which he

Final judgment
Some top hackers have a very good purpose, which want to make this world a better place, they want to prove some UFO theories, some prefer to earn money from them, for some names and fame such as Do the work. But one thing must be acknowledged that behind these evolution of cybersecurity, all of them have a huge hand. Even if he is not doing anything directly, but by indirect way, he is giving some awards for the society.
If you are afraid of these hackers that they can ruin your life then I want to tell you that these hackers are often targets of big organizations and entities because they do not want to waste their hard work in one or two people. Rather they want to target a large organization. Yes, but if you use Internet then you must be careful about all these hackers. In the online world, anyone should ever trust the eyes and shut their eyes. Always have to use your intellect before doing any work.
