Stuxnet is a highly sophisticated computer worm that was discovered in June 2010. It is notable for being one of the first known cyber weapons designed to target industrial control systems, specifically those used in nuclear facilities. Stuxnet was reportedly developed by the United States and Israel as part of an operation aimed at slowing down Iran's nuclear program. The worm was designed to infect and sabotage Siemens software and equipment, which controlled the centrifuges used in uranium enrichment at Iran's Natanz facility.
