The World’s First Cyber Weapon Attack on a Nuclear Plant | Cyberwar 

Yes, important reminder

Check out darknet diaries with my boy jack... current hacker ish

Maverick got enough time to push it on big screen.

Thank U. Saved me the watch.

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER------ America is in violation of the Symington Amendment by giving aid to Israel when they haven't signed the Nuclear NPT, and promote terrorism on Iran when they seek to develop their own energy program.

Again?

And again

And again until they get their ad views

Thank you, therefore I won't watch the video and will instead dislike and report!

Yes, but you wouldn't believe how many people don't know or understand Stuxnet. This episode is great for people to understand cybersecurity, politics, etc.

The descriptions says it’s a repost

Yeh but they could have atleast put it in the dam title smh​@Duckduckobtusegoose

​@@kieronluke4657it's not hard to read the description. can you not understand anything that's not hashtagged?

324,185 views Mar 28, 2024 #VICENews #News Stuxnet was a sophisticated cyber attack on an Iranian nuclear plant that may have changed the nature of warfare forever. This episode of Cyberwar first aired on VICE TV in 2016.

@@og666 it's not hard, but the issue is that it is hard to know the description is important. Titles have the benefit of being on screen all the time (PC, non-full screen) and hashtags have the bonus benefit of popping out from being a different color.

I doubt that’s how it happened… most likely the engineer was paid by intelligence to bug the system

This was not your run-of-the-mill worm. Your teacher's antivirus would not have seen anything, that's whata 0-day attack does. It is called that because 0 days have transcured since the attack has been discovered by security companues and therefore no countermesure to that attack exists yet. And the method used was to inject this worm in as many normal computers in the world as possible so that everytime a technician would break the air gap to import some code he would have more and more chance to be using a pen drive that would have been previously inserted in an infected computer. I don't remember the exact number but when Stuxnet was first reported on it had infected an astonishing number of computers worldwide, something like 20 percent.

@@Freiheit1232ok, but what dude is saying is Iran should of had something in place to protect itself from just some bad actor plugging in a USB stick into a computer and taking down their entire operation. AMATEURS! Hahaha

You would be surprised to find out in some second / third world countries this thing is still going on in governmental building. Simply because security protocols are overseen by employees, and security awareness is just something from a check list that nobody cares but they all sing the paper because is the norm.

@@sforza209 There would definitely be a way around such a system whether it is a high ranking individual at the plant or someone who just bypassed security protocols

emotions will be tugged

People that are helpless and don’t have guns lmao

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER------ America is in violation of the Symington Amendment by giving aid to Israel when they haven't signed the Nuclear NPT, and promote terrorism on Iran when they seek to develop their own energy program.

@@crackerjack2303Hiroshima’s pistols did nothing

This story is about 10 years old tho lol

It's also a bit inaccurate. The first known cyberattack dates to at least 1982 with software that caused specific massive damage being inserted into natural gas equipment destined for the Soviet Union. It triggered.""The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space," he recalls, adding that U.S. satellites picked up the explosion. Reed said in an interview that the blast occurred in the summer of 1982." (Washington Post).

USA is the main threat

Sure

Episode is from 2016 about an event(s) that happened in 2010. And the details are very watered down.

Interesting how this episode is more relevant today than in 2016.

Wayyyy more impressive tbh😂😂 them boys at Siemens hooked them up😂

Something stolen: USA did similar to the Soviets back in the day.

According to the dark research that came out 5 years ago, it was attacked through the HVAC system.

Also the threat analyst misdefined zero day as a zero click attack, I guess fact-checking isn’t one of Vice’s strengths

That crazy man

That's probably $10m in value right there...

@@Fatman305 Way way way more. A single zero day exploit that requires zero user input to execute can fetch up to 20 million dollars.

I don’t know about them but I believe you.

@@jiszle697 I was wrong, the other way. It likely cost less than $1m back in 2010. Look for Forbes article from 2012 "Shopping For Zero-Days". And note that even those ~$100k high-end exploits back in 2012 were much cheaper a few years earlier: "This is very different than in 2007, when researcher Charlie Miller wrote about his attempts to sell zero-day exploits; and a 2010 survey implied that there wasn’t much money in selling zero days. The market has matured substantially in the past few years."

Yes, zero-click was what they were talking about.

Things like that wouldn't ever be a standard educational criteria until there's an issue. 😅😂

@@tonywalker4207 None of them will ever forget what a PLC is now.

Because an security researcher (as you call it "IT engineer") is a software engineer and not an electrical engineer...? Do you think that all electrical engineers can complete a malware analysis because they are an engineer?

@@jjann54321 Valid (excellent) point. In particular for "stick to your lane" type engineers. But the very best among us, including hackers, tend to be multidisciplinary. Mitnick's M.O. was less about tech and more about social engineering. As a "security researcher" it is important to be aware about the most basic instruments used in (critical) industry.

@@TriAngles3D Totally unacceptable to have zero clue what a PLC is. A cursory understanding of hardware systems is a must for softdevs.

*stares in nuke worker at a plant with 1950 tech that's never heard of the Internet* I mean, they could crash our email and make it hard to watch RU-vid but, actually a threat to radiologic safety? Nah, we good.

I heard power plants controls are so confusing even the hackers are like wtf lol

@@EyeKnowRaff yes there's plenty of antiquated tech but they're modernizing it with ICS

@@will201084that’s 🧢 they have old ass plc’s anyone can go online with and make edits

@@Ebap-dy9zp I'm more worried about the spent fuel rods taking a long, HOT soak in the pool outside the plant. The eerie blue glow tells you that stuff is still plenty dangerous.

Vice exposing things that can get us all hurt.. like we really want Iran to have nukes? Tf they doing.. like Snowden.. all that for what? To live in effing Russia? Lmfao

Very much so! I'm been in cyber security an other aspects of the industry for many years and I'm still learning.

there aren't. in order to pull something like this off you need years and state resources. like a complicated spy mission. its not like some child can inadvertently do this in a fit of immature rage because the virus is just floating around its possible that russia or china could do this to some US infrastructure, but only if it was a long term concerted effort with many people involved, as it was for the allies that launched stuxnet

​@@HanTheProphet This video was from 2016 8 YEARS AGO PRETTY SURE THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO UP THEIR GAME!

@@HanTheProphetever heard of an emp?

@@MommaBear_316Security has had 8 years to evolve as well. It’s a classical arms race. All it takes is for one to get through, yes. But how many are going to face back at you? Techwar has to obey MAD like anything else.

​@@HanTheProphetare there, or are there not? You said both lol

Yea he didn’t explain what a zero day was lol .

​@@inility57722:35

Uncle Sam ain’t gona do that for a while baby 🇺🇸🤠🤩 💪

I prefer a security company to be as neutral as possible...

Agreed. Better than being like Kaspersky and their engineers getting arrested if they don't do what they're supposed to.

Your idea of "bad guys" are not the same as everyone's idea of "bad guys."

it got out of control and spread through numerous other countries.

Symantec security: discovered super weapon that could wipe out lots of people at once and directly cause international wars "We should let everyone know about this"

Yepper

they did actually.

😅q7​@@ROBLOXGamingDavidthe i8776677u7766😅

U.S. sabatoging something Iranian sounds about right.

You really thought you did something huh

Infected part not a usb stick

by then, it is already as dangerous as it can get.

It’s called looking up windows keys, Microsoft actually doesn’t stop it because then they have more people on their OS

That’s what I was thinking the whole time while watching this

I'm surprised they didn't get a call from Mossad or NSA to keep quiet

Because it was already detected by a Belarussian company. If they kept quiet, that's just a clear indication of something shady.

Exactly it's because they were in help programming this with the United States government to demonstrate what its capable of

Why are there still people that genuinely believe that, in this time and age, causing geopolitical trouble will leave them unharmed?

And here I am in 2232 and thinking 🤔 You made a typo.

If Iran is one of the leaders in AI research then how come Iran hasent come out with a leading tech company till now just like China?

@@arbaz79You mention two state run economies and question why private corps haven’t upset them in the same breath.

Yep, they are now hacking the states that hacked them back then. Not extraordinarily, but still, they are now advancing.

me me meee

Yes

You made some valid points.

That's a good point you made.

Yup if they did not sanction iran, they could pull more of these stuxnet type attacks. Now everything in iran is anti-stuxnet. 😂

Itz when people lack morals, ethics scruples and most of all talent.

Considering this video is almost 10 years old, nope.

True! Easy to hack! Still 😂

...within a nuclear power plant

Yeah so when the plant pops it will be an "unfortunate accident"

Do you think a normal malware could infect an unknown operating system? You know windows,mac and linux. However a nuclear power plant OS does not use any of those. So it can only be of someone that understands how a nuclear power plant operates from the infrastructure/bare level. Look it is easy to figure out if you just think a little for a few mins.

bro youre overthinking it, he means the employees of HLS, and anyone involved (not israel)

Get a life

Whole lotta yappin

That's a pretty interesting claim, I've looked up and verified all the other stuff and the price of bitcoin does seem to increase dramatically over the days afterward. Love the level of replies from the two idiots above me tho

​​@@ifxthenwhy6202your post read my mind, top to bottom. This whole thing makes Jason Lowery's book Softwar all the more interesting.

​@@ifxthenwhy6202exactly, even microsoft pays ransoms, what the two above you on?

No Vice and NY Times let our enemies now in detail what's up lol
