I’m pretty sure Stuxnet did hack it’s way into nuclear weapons infrastructure.
- kortilla 3y agoA refinement facility for nuclear material isn’t quite the same thing
- jjeaff 3y agoIt's definitely part of the infrastructure of nuclear weapons. That's why it was hacked in the first place. They were making weapons grade nuclear material.
- kortilla 3y agoSo is a steel plant though. Keeping a missile from being hacked is much different than something in the supply chain.
- bumby 3y agoConsidering the number of steel plants and the relative cost of the material, that’s not a very good comparison. The whole point of Stuxnet was that the facility was a critical single failure point in the supply chain. When it went down, it disrupted the project for years. I don’t think the same dynamic holds for steel manufacturing. If you think they’re comparable, try getting into Oak Ridge or similar; I suspect you’ll find it very well guarded compared to a steel plant.
