What your about to see is a short video about how a single virus changed the face of nuclear energy in one of the more dangerous countries in the world, and potentially stopped the development of nuclear weapons in an area that would have allowed terrorists to gain access to them.
Do geeks have a role to play in warfare? Yes, they do.
Do viruses go beyond the annoying ones that mess up your personal computer? Yes, they do.
Do viruses go undetected and active on computers without your knowing? Yes, they do.
Do Mac’s get viruses too? Yes, they do…and they are more easily corrupted than PC’s. They are just not as big a target for virus creations (market share is not comparable to Microsoft).

I got deep into your blog today and stumbled upon this entry. Stuxnet is the example that I use when teaching and training new technicians to demonstrate the world they are stepping into. The question I always pose is at what point or how may ones and zeros would provoke a conventional response?
This is the world we live in and and because of this I often turn to and share Matthew 10:16, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”
Have a great week and stay vigilant!
