Textbook Anecdotes and Current Events

After reading about the Stuxnet virus at the beginning of the chapter, I was inspired to do a little extra reading. The story made an impression on me so I took to Google. A simple search for "who wrote stuxnet" brought up a bunch of sites mentioning Snowden! Apparently, in an interview, Edward Snowden mentioned that Stuxnet was written by the U.S. government agency NSA in colaberation with Israel. I was kind of wide-eyed as I read through a few pages. Unfortunately, there aren't really any details, but it certainly does bring the textbook material home. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/08/snowden_us_israel_stuxnet/ http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/07/edward-snowden-u-s-israel-co-wrote-cyber-super-weapon-stuxnet/
