Well, there have been a lot of computer attacks where bad people try to harm other people's computers and steal their information. These attacks are called malware attacks. One of the most famous malware attacks in history is called the "ILOVEYOU" virus. This virus was sent in an email and if you opened it, it would spread to everyone in your contact list. Another big malware attack was the "WannaCry" attack. This attack was so big that it affected businesses all around the world and even some hospitals had to shut down because their computers were taken over by the virus.

Another famous malware attack is called "Stuxnet". This virus was designed to target a specific type of computer that controlled machines in nuclear power plants. The idea behind the attack was to break those machines and cause chaos in the power plant.

There was also a malware attack called "NotPetya" which ended up causing billions of dollars in damage to businesses. The virus was able to spread quickly because it was disguised as an update for a software program.
