Stuxnet, the most sophisticated malware known to mankind, was almost never detected. It derailed an Iranian nuclear program before spreading across the globe and silently deleting itself. What was it?
➡️ Herein, we dive deep into Stuxnet, the infamous cyber attack that targeted nuclear facilities in Iran, marking a pivotal moment in cyber warfare history.
➡️ We explore how Stuxnet exploited multiple zero-day vulnerabilities to cripple industrial control systems. This attack not only highlighted the vulnerability of critical infrastructure but also showcased the growing threat of state-sponsored cyber attacks.
➡️ We also discuss the broader implications of cybersecurity in the digital age, and the role of cyber attacks in disrupting national security. Listen as we unpack how Stuxnet reshaped the landscape of digital defense and opened the door to a new era of cyber weapons.
