Eines der bislang raffiniertesten Schadprogramme: das 2010 entdeckte Virus #Stuxnet. Es wurde vermutlich gezielt entwickelt, um auf politische Konflikte Einfluss zu nehmen, und gilt als erste #Cyberwaffe.

i watched yesterday pt1 of the new dutch #documentary that partly covers also #stuxnet being delivered by a dutch engineer Erik van Sabben. it is a weird docu, it mixes the stuxnet story with the ukraine war, and features also a weird militant cyberpolitician bart groothuis. One detail was interesting though, how someone claiming to be an informant from a dutch spy agency got into contact with the journalist, only to find out what the journalist discovered so far. maybe pt2 will be better...
#stuxnet is back from the deads, or so to speak...
It’s believed that the Stuxnet malware was planted on a water pump that the Dutch national installed in the nuclear complex in Natanz, which he had infiltrated. It’s unclear if Van Sabben knew exactly what he was doing, but his family said he appeared to have panicked at around the time of the Stuxnet attack.
Ending the mini-series that covers the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group's Year In Review report, we will be diving into the MITRE ATT&CK Technique T1068, Exploitation for Privilege Escalation. This technique falls under the Tactic of Privilege Escalation (TA0004) and has no sub-techniques. This technique can be seen when adversaries "exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges" (https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1068/) and has been used by groups like #ScatteredSpider and seen in the #Stuxnet malware.
@kiwa Maybe it’s a more advanced targeted version of dangerous USB sticks ? It may be waiting to connect to your network to attack a nearby nuclear enrichment program :-) #StuxNet
