History

Historical Context

In 2010, the Stuxnet worm, allegedly created by the United States and Israel, crippled Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Symantec estimated the disruption cost $10 billion, while Kaspersky identified more than 2,000 infected industrial control systems worldwide. Now Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warns AI-driven threats will dominate, as CrowdStrike’s AI tools lifted its shares 20.5% following SlowMist’s 50% crypto-attack surge. The Stuxnet legacy shows that breakthrough cyber weapons can spawn lucrative security sectors, prompting regulators to scrutinize AI claims and investors to demand transparent risk metrics.
