synopsis

In September 2010, the world changed. It was discovered that a computer worm had burrowed its way into the control systems of uranium enrichment centrifuges in Iran, and caused them to self-destruct. Gone are the days when computer viruses bothered us with spam or caused problems in the mysterious world of cyber space. Tomorrows malware threats will be capable of destruction in the real world. Crime, sabotage, even warfare, will never be the same again. In this film, the worlds top cyber forensic analysts explain how the Stuxnet worm hunts for its target like a guided missile, evading defences and spiking its prey with surgical precision. They warn us of the vulnerability of industrial software systems that control the worlds nations infrastructure. What would happen to a society that loses electricity, communications or clean water for weeks, or even months? Weapons of Mass Disruption criss-crosses the world to trace the advent of the first cyber weaponStuxnetand the serious implications it has for the security of us all.
