What is Stuxnet?

Stuxnet is a type of computer worm that is considered as one of the most advanced and sophisticated malware ever developed. It was first discovered in 2010 and believed to be designed to target Iran's nuclear facilities. The worm caused physical damage to centrifuges, which were used to enrich uranium. Although no country has claimed responsibility for the development of Stuxnet, it is widely believed that the United States and Israel were involved in its creation. Stuxnet is a prime example of cyber-warfare and has raised concerns about the potential for future attacks on critical infrastructure and other sensitive targets.
