Which tennis player’s name was linked to a computer virus in 2001?
Serena Williams
Steffi Graf
Anna Kournikova
In 2001, a computer virus named after popular tennis star Anna Kournikova spread worldwide, infecting millions of computers in a matter of hours. The virus arrived in an email with the subject line “Here you have, ;0)” and was designed to trick email users into opening the attachment ostensibly appearing to be an image of Anna Kournikova. When opened in Microsoft Outlook, the file did not display a picture of the professional tennis player, but instead launched a viral script that forwarded itself to all contacts in the victim’s address book.
Correct Answer: Anna Kournikova
