Stuxnet | The Computer Virus That Caused World War 3

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. ---- CONTENTS 00:00 - Stuxnet discovered 00:28 - The Why Files 00:32 - Why are nuclear centrifuges failing? 01:30 - Why Stuxnet is different 04:12 - A Zero-Day Exploit 07:00 - An aggressive and specific virus 09:28 - Why was Iran targeted and by whom? 12:09 - Is a virus an act of war? 14:19 - The internet is an equalizer 15:20 - Stuxnet changed everything 17:51 - Nitro Zeus, even worse 19:50 - The next war is here 21:18 - Defeat the She-Wolf! 〰 🙏 SUPPORT THE WHY FILES 🙏 https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles (Fun, Free Perks!) 👽 BUY WHY FILES MERCH 👽 https://shop.thewhyfiles.com (Code: LIZZIDPEEPLE for 10% off first order) 💬 CHAT WITH US ON DISCORD 💬 https://thewhyfiles.com/discord 〰 🌐 OFFICIAL WEB SITE: https://thewhyfiles.com 🕵️ Submit a topic, suggestion or just say hi: 🕵️ https://thewhyfiles.com/tips 🎨 Have a product suggestion or want to design artwork for TWF? 🎨 https://thewhyfiles.com/merch 📸 BE A WHY FILES MODEL (and get free stuff!) 📸 Send a photo of you/family/friends watching TWF, 📸 wearing TWF gear, using TWF merchandise: 📸 https://thewhyfiles.com/wild 〰 🎧 THE PODCAST VERSION 🎧 https://thewhyfiles.com/podcast 〰 ⁍ TWF on SOCIAL (in order of
