Stuxnet is a computer worm discovered in July 2010 that targets industrial software and equipment.[1] While it is not the first time that crackers have targeted industrial systems,[2] it is the first discovered malware that spies on and subverts industrial systems,[3] and the first to include a programmable logic controller (PLC) rootkit.[4][5] Stuxnet came to be known as the most complex malware ever written - a piece of software that would ultimately make history as the world’s first real 'Cyber Weapon'.
