International Internet Day is celebrated on October 29, marking the first message sent over ARPANET in 1969. The message "LO" was part of an attempt to send "LOGIN" from UCLA to Stanford, but the system crashed after the first two letters. Today, around 6.3 billion people are online, with significant disparities in internet access globally. In Romania, internet access in households is above the EU average, with 95.4% connectivity. The day also serves as a reminder for online safety, with recommendations for secure passwords and awareness of phishing attempts.
