The first known polymorphic virus was written by Mark Washburn. The virus, called [[1260 (computer virus)|1260]], was written in 1990. A better-known polymorphic virus was created in 1992 by the hacker [[Dark Avenger]] as a means of avoiding pattern recognition from antivirus software. A common and very virulent polymorphic virus is the file infecter [[Virut]].
By 2024, polymorphic viruses backed by artificial intelligence have reportedly become one of the key cyber threats. AI allows such viruses to mutate more effectively, making them even more difficult to detect and combat.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-12-07 |title=The cyber threatscape in 2024: polymorphic malware will be enabled by AI |url=https://resilienceforward.com/the-cyber-threatscape-in-2024-polymorphic-malware-will-be-enabled-by-ai/ |url-status=live |access-date=2025-03-21 |website=resilienceforward.com |language=en-GB}}</ref>
