As the linked article points out, it wasn't just raising the speed, it was raising it in a subtle enough way to ruin the process while other experts routinely monitored the system
- Bekwnn 8y agoMost importantly it worked very successfully. With Windows, Google search, or most of the others mentioned here, they have had a huge number of problems. The word used was "sophisticated." I think that also implies some level of near-flawlessness in the end result.

- intended 8y agoIt was found, and now everyone is using that code base to iterate on new weapons.
- vkou 8y ago99.99% of the time, Windows works just fine for me. Stuxnet only needed to work once.
- chris_wot 8y agoIt worked multiple times. And it needed to propagate, undetected, for months until it made its way into the nuclear facility. It didn’t just work once.
- ImSkeptical 8y agoStill, Windows, or Android, works on hundreds of millions of machines for long periods of time. Stuxnet is a feat of engineering, but it's not as sophisticated as millions of lines of code written by tens of thousands of software developer over decades.
