On the morning of June 17th, 2010, an engineer at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in Iran steps into a secure room housing rows of centrifuges spinning at intense speeds. His focus is drawn to an unusual issue that has disrupted operations over the past several days: unexpected malfunctions in the centrifuge controls. The facility is on high alert, as this isn’t just any issue—these centrifuges are critical to Iran’s nuclear program, carefully monitored and controlled by complex industrial software.
After several days of troubleshooting, the software appears to resume normal operations, but then an alarming pattern emerges. Centrifuges spin wildly out of control, vibrating erratically, while the control systems report everything as "normal." As panic spreads through the team, it becomes clear that something deeper is at work. The facility has been infiltrated by Stuxnet, a sophisticated and unprecedented cyberweapon that manipulated their systems undetected. Iran’s nuclear ambitions had just taken a massive, invisible blow.
