In 1986, reactor number 4 at Chernobyl exploded and changed the meaning of nuclear catastrophe for ever. Thirteen years later, in 1999, another kind of silent explosion took place — this time inside millions of computers around the world. The CIH virus, nicknamed Chernobyl, triggered its destructive payload on exactly that date.
