The year was when the Word was mentioned as a Worm Virus
and gained national attention for some 6,ooo computer users.
I doubt it is possbile to establish the number of users,currently.

1969 "internet" invented (not called by that name)
First true "worm" virus December 1987 - "Christmas Tree" infested the BITNET system at IBM.
First INTERNET worm virus November 2, 1988 - "Morris Worm" attacked Unix VAC systems in mainly University systems.
I assume this is the worm and "internet-term" usage that you are refering to?
