The Y2K38 bug, also known as the Unix Millennium Bug, is a potential software issue that occurs when systems representing time in seconds since January 1, 1970, overflow their storage capacity on January 19, 2038. As many systems, including some operating systems and software applications, still use 32-bit signed integers to store time values, the Y2K38 bug poses a risk to system stability and data integrity, making it a concern for the tech community to address and mitigate before the deadline.
