Things I Learned Last Night

Stuxnet | How the US Started Cyber War


Listen Later

In 2010, cybersecurity experts uncovered a computer virus unlike anything seen before. This malware did not target personal computers or steal private data. Instead, it quietly sabotaged industrial machines, changing how the world thinks about cyber warfare. That computer virus, Stuxnet, is still felt today.

Unlike most malware, Stuxnet was designed for one specific mission. It targeted highly specialized industrial control systems. If it did not find those systems, the computer virus remained inactive. This precision made Stuxnet extremely difficult to detect.
