Didn’t bush start murdering their scientist and having spies put viruses on their computer. Maybe it was obama but it seem like this has been going on forever.
You are thinking about stuxnet and it was uncovered to be a joint USA Israel op or from what I remember at least but it was a worm that went world wide just to try to find equipment Iran was using them make it blow up.
That would have been bush Jr I think.
This is what I remember, so probably true. It only attacked Siemens equipment with MAC addresses known to have shipped to Iran.
I thought it was crazy then and still do. If I had a clandestine operation I'm not supposed to have, I sure as fuck wouldn't hook it up to the internet. I also wouldn't hook up pipeline pumping stations and electric delivery systems to the internet either, yet here we are...
Careful, you're thinking! That's discouraged now.
People are dumb and SCADA equipment is directly internet connected all over the world.
I was at a Defcon talk where the creator of Metasploit was able to gain access to floodgate controls on a dam in China. If he was a bad actor or a nation state he could have easily killed a couple of million people by fully opening the gates then bricking the scada controllers.
Because Bibi has been saying it has been going on for 30 years.
