Saudi Aramco is estimated to be worth $2t-$10t (it's privately held, so noone knows) and 35,000 of their computers got their MBRs and MFTs (extrapolating) nuked in a political sting operation in 2012. It's handwavily rumored the HDD supply chain shortages at the time (remember the floods in Thailand?) were partially from Saudi Aramco momentarily redirecting chunks of the world's HDD manufacturing capacity to fix it. https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/30/ https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/30/ "Shamoon" (the epsiode about this, which says it depends on the previous two episodes) https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/28/ https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/28/ "Unit 8200" https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/29/ https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/29/ "Stuxnet"
