35 years ago today, I walked in to the CS department where I was a grad student, and bumped in to my advisor, who asked, somewhat worriedly, "Matt, did you do this?" I had no idea what he was talking about, which is exactly what I would have said if I had done it.

Happy wormiversary, to all those who celebrate.

@mattblaze I wonder how large the universe of people who had the ability and resource access to create and deploy the worm was at that time. How long would it have taken to ask each of those people “did you do this?”
