Stumbled Upon Virus
In 2010, a new kind of cyber-weapon was accidentally stumbled upon by the cybersecurity researchers of VirusBlokAda. It's a powerful malware that raises the bar on warfare - even decide how WWIII can be fought and won. Instead of missiles and bombs, this is a computer code, yes, just lines of code that can cripple a country's electrical grid, financial markets, communications system and military infrastructure. This zero-day computer virus was given a name - Stuxnet.
Ending Thoughts
Einstein once said that WW IV would be fought with stones and sticks. With Stuxnet, perhaps not. If the target country's power grid, communication system and nuclear capability is paralyzed, there is no need to drop hydrogen bombs to win the war. Civilization will be preserved. Cities will be left intact. Infrastructure will remain. Lives will be spared. If the hacked country does not surrender, then it can only respond with guerilla warfare - much less destructive than a nuclear meltdown. Maybe Stuxnet just saved the planet!

(May 14, 2024) A ground-breaking technological breakthrough now allows for a simplified "cut and paste" of a precisely targeted DNA sequence to repair damaged DNA (curing disease) or upgrade normal DNA (Eugenics). The ramifications are profound and can change the genetic landscape. This technology is CRISPR-Cas9...more »»
