I just watched Zero Days again because of the Iran situation.

This documentary is about how the US and Israel collaborated on creating Stuxnet to shut down Iran's centrifuges, in part to stop Israel from attacking Iran and expecting us to defend them. Then someone got greedy/aggressive and changed the code, which caused the virus to be discovered. Iran started their own cyber army.

Supposedly, our Cyber Command and NSA has created enough cyber warfare to bring Iran to it's knees. Not a good or moral thing to use, it could cause the deaths of millions.

Trump scares me. I hope no one told him about Nitro Zeus.
