Understanding Stuxnet, the first computer virus as weapon

Great infographic video about STUXNET, the worlds first code weapon discovered in 2010 throughout power plants in Iran; a computer virus that can shut down power grids, kill oil pipelines, and alter the pressure in nuclear power plants. Sound scary? Well, you and everyone you know can download the virus code freely on the web and modify it… how’s that for scary? - idahobob

An infographic dissecting the nature and ramifications of Stuxnet, the first weapon made entirely out of code. This was produced for Australian TV program HungryBeast on Australia’s ABC1

Video infographics have gotten a little out of control, using design elements b/c they look cool, not b/c they push the story. This video, otoh, is super effective.
