Brief history of the Internet and security issuses

The internet was developed in the late 1950s while the United States was in the midst of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. A project called the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early U.S. government-funded "internetworking" that evolved the modern Internet. ARPANET began as a four-node network involving UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
