An Unprecedented Look at Stuxnet the World’s First Digital Weapon

My recent book, The Universal Machine, opens its chapter on hacking with the deployment of the Stuxnet computer virus. Allegedly created by Israel and US intelligence services to target Irans nuclear bomb programme it was the worlds first state against state digital weapon. With North Korea now being accused of hacking Sony perhaps its time to revisit this story. Wired has recently published an excerpt from a new book on Stuxnet - recommended reading.

Radio New Zealand National had a great interview with Kim Zetter who has written a book about Stuxnet, the worlds first digital weapon. You can listen to the interview here or read about Stuxnet in chapter 12 of my book The Universal Machine. Its certainly true that quietly over the last few years we have crossed into a new age where cyberwar is now a reality.
