The first one I know of hit IBM in 1984 called Christmas-A because CHRISTMAS was truncated to CHRISTMA due to mainframe limitations at the time. It was created by a German student in a college that IBM sponsored. What it did was lock out your keyboard (on you dumb terminal) and send all your email history to everyone in your email log with the virus as a tag-along. This filled up the shadow servers worldwide really quick and nailed IBM for 2-3 weeks. IBM never released the name of the student, but did hire him.
