FEATURED POST: STUXNET

FEATURED POST:Most Advanced Malware of all Time.

Stuxnet or Flame (built off Stuxnet) is a computer worm discovered in June 2010 that is believed to have been created by the United States and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Stuxnet initially spreads via Microsoft Windows, and targets Siemens industrial control systems. While it is not the first time that hackers have targeted industrial systems, it is the first discovered malware that spies on and subverts industrial systems, and the first to include a programmable logic controller (PLC) rootkit.
It infected Iran's cyber fatalities which are all highly "secured" and offline.
