Staog was the first computer virus written for the Linux operating system. It was discovered in the autumn, October 20, of 1996, and the vulnerabilities that it exploited were fixed soon after. It has not been detected in the wild since its initial outbreak. The vulnerabilities exploited by Staog have been patched in all major Linux distributions, making the virus no longer a threat.
