The Only Website That Made You An Idiot

What seemed to be a simple flash animation of three smileys would soon turn into a chaotic mess of bouncing windows, forcing you to hard-reset your computer as it multiplied across your screen. Mocking you.
In this video, we dive deep into the history of the "You Are An Idiot" virus (Trojan.JS.Offiz). Unlike modern malware, this trojan was more interested in annoying you than stealing your social security number.
Why did it do what it did? Where did it come from? And why do we remember it so fondly? Today, we explore the story behind the site that defined a generation of aimless web browsing.
