Robert Tappan Morris
A computer programmer who attained notoriety by writing and releasing the first computer worm to spread widely on the internet.
According to the jargon file:
- RTM /R-T-M/
- [Usenet: abbreviation for `Read The Manual'] ...
- 2. Robert Tappan Morris, perpetrator of the great Internet worm of 1988 (see [Great Worm]?); villain to many, naive hacker gone wrong to a few. Morris claimed that the worm that brought the Internet to its knees was a benign experiment that got out of control as the result of a coding error. After the storm of negative publicity that followed this blunder, Morris's username on ITS was hacked from RTM to RTFM.
