Description
The world's first cyberweapon was a game-changer. In 2010, a piece of code known as Stuxnet was unleashed on Iran's nuclear facilities, causing widespread destruction and sparking a new era of warfare. Journalist Kim Zetter tells the story behind this digital sabotage, from its origins in the corridors of power to its effects on the ground. She also explores the history of cyberwarfare and its future, revealing what might happen if our infrastructure is targeted by a similar attack. Stuxnet was a complex and sophisticated piece of malware, designed to escape the digital realm and wreak physical destruction. Zetter's book takes a technical and historical approach, delving into the world of cybersecurity and the security geeks who worked to unravel the sabotage campaign. Along the way, she sheds light on the politics and motivations behind the attack, and what it reveals about the nature of modern warfare. As the threat of cyberattacks continues to grow, Countdown to Zero Day provides a timely and thought-provoking look at the world on the brink of a new kind of war.
