Stuxnet | The Computer Virus that prevented and started the next world war
STUXNET.
The virus that prevented; then started the next world war. Cyberwar is being waged right now in your name. No matter what country you call home, your government is engaged in highly dangerous combat on the Internet. Infrastructure around the world is under siege and everyone is at risk. Even you. In 2010, the Stuxnet virus was discovered in Natanz, Iran and thousands of control systems that operate factories, power plants and nuclear reactors around the world. It was 20 times more sophisticated than any malware ever recorded. It could halt oil pipelines, destroy water treatment plants and bring down entire power grids.
Stuxnet is back, stronger than ever.
And we should *all* be concerned.
Cyber-security experts knew Stuxnet wasn't ordinary malware thrown together by some basement hacker. This was something different.
Let's find out why.
