Allegedly developed by US and Israeli operatives, Stuxnet was discovered circulating through Iranian nuclear energy facilities in 2010. The first worm of note that accomplished this was Stuxnet. Because it was so complex, Stuxnet was not easy for just anyone to replicate. Branching attacks. Fast forward to 2017. Addressing the exposure.
The total amount of data on earth exceeded 1 zettabyte in 2010 and it has continued to grow exponentially since then. There are many factors driving the need for customers to move their data to the cloud and explosive data growth is one those factors. We are expecting 181 zettabytes of data by 2025 and it will continue to grow from there.
Only a minority of infrastructural attack chains are the kind of “pure” OT compromises we famously saw in 2010 with Stuxnet, the 2018 Shamoon attacks on Saudi Aramco and more recently with 2020 EKANS ransomware attacks against Honda and Enel. Threat actors are also finding more ways to compromise OT environments.
