Stuxnet is a malicious computer worm, first identified in 2010 but thought to have been in development since at least 2005, that targets industrial computer systems and was responsible for causing substantial damage to Iran's nuclear program. Although neither country has admitted responsibility, since 2012 the worm is frequently described as a jointly built American-Israeli cyberweapon.^[1][2]]]> 2017-10-05 10:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194229934 https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194230612 2017-10-05 10:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194230612 https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194231221 Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency visited the Natanz facility and observed that a strange number of uranium enriching centrifuges were breaking. The cause of these failures was unknown at the time. Later in 2010, Iran technicians contracted computer security specialists in Belarus to examine their computer systems. This security firm eventually discovered multiple malicious files on the Iranian computer systems. It has subsequently revealed that these malicious files were the Stuxnet worm. ]]> 2017-10-05 10:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194231221 https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194232101 No]]> 2017-10-05 10:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194232101 https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194232254 2017-10-05 10:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194232254 https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194232943 Although Iran has not released specific details regarding the effects of the attack, it is currently estimated that the Stuxnet worm destroyed 984 uranium enriching centrifuges. By current estimations this constituded a 30% decrease in enrichment efficiency.]]> 2017-10-05 10:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194232943 https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194233153 Solar Sunrise (1998): 
Originally thought to have been the efforts of Iraqi operatives, a systematic cyber attack was launched in the US which seized control of over 500 government and private computer systems. The hackers were exploiting computers running on the Sun Solaris operating system, hence collective attacks were called ‘Solar Sunrise’. 
The US Government assembled a number of defense divisions including the FBI and the Defense Information Systems Agency to investigate the matter. 
Much to everybody’s surprise, there were no Iraqi operatives involved in the hacking. Investigations resulted in the arrest of three teenagers from California. 
While it was cased closed for ‘Solar Sunrise’, the attacks highlighted how a co-ordinated effort could affect an entire country’s IT infrastructure.]]> 2017-10-05 10:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_speirs/ll18sv3esohe/wish/194233153
