The most frustrating thing about this book is that it stops in the past, rather than continuing to narrate this history right up to the present, then predicting what happens next.

Robertson Dean narrates engagingly.

Stuxnet was one of the most relevant cases in cyberwarfare history: here's how the US and Israel sabotaged an Iranian nuclear facility with a deadly computer worm.

Experts Warn The #Internet Will Go Down In A Big Way — And You'd Better Be Ready

Story by Geoff Williams, 9/23/2025

"It’s bad enough when the internet goes down for a few hours because your power went out after a storm, but what if the internet went down indefinitely, sort of everywhere? What if your state or an entire region of the country lacked the internet or electricity because of a cyberattack or something innocuous, like problems with an aging grid or the federal government forgot to pay a bill?"

Funding for program to stop next Stuxnet from hitting US expired Sunday

"Let me be blunt, we are not prepared or a major attack on our critical infrastructure … we are not doing enough to prepare and the results could be catastrophic, including loss of life," Lee warned.

All shields down, the attacks will not even be noticed.

Funding for the program to stop the next Stuxnet expired Sunday - because nothing says "national security priority" like canceling your cyber defense right when China's Volt Typhoon is prowling our critical infrastructure. It's like firing your security guard during a break-in spree. 🤦‍♂️

Kim Zetter's (@kimzetter) 2014 book 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘡𝘦𝘳𝘰 𝘋𝘢𝘺 was one of the first inducted into the Cybersecurity Canon Hall of Fame 🏆. The book unpacks the story of #Stuxnet and was a first of its kind to turn a real-world cyber espionage operation 🕵‍♀️ into a gripping thriller of a book.

Last week, Kim joined #CyberCanon President Rick Howard at the 𝘞𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘞𝘦𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘮 gathering for a candid discussion and Q&A with an eager group of about 40 cybersecurity leaders.

This event was coordinated before the recent Operation Midnight Hammer attack, which made the timing for this Stuxnet conversation impeccable. Many members attributed this to the uncanny foresight of Wee Dram host J. Carlos Vega, CISSP. 😄
