The first virus to infect PC computers was discovered in 1986. Intriguingly, the virus contained the contact details of its authors in Pakistan. 25 years later, in February 2011, Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, travelled to the city of Lahore in Pakistan to find the authors.
The authors were identified as brothers Amjad Farooq Alvi and Basit Farooq Alvi. Today they run a successful Internet Service Provider business called Brain Telecommunication Ltd with a third brother Shahid Farooq Alvi.
