Day 3 Extra: Morris Worm
In this activity you will have a chance to read about a cyber-crime that took place in the early days of the internet.
The story is in 4 chapters. Each chapter, except the first one, has a code word protecting it. When you finish reading the first chapter, you will notice there is a code word at the bottom. You will have to decode the cipher and use the word you figure out to open the next section. Each chapter, (Chapter 2, 3 and 4), requires a code word to open it. I will give you one clue – each code word is related to one of the 10 principles of cybersecurity.
