šŸ’£ What If the Next World War Starts with a USB Stick?

In 2010, a mysterious virus quietly slipped into Iran’s nuclear facilities—and physically destroyed their centrifuges. That virus was Stuxnet—the world’s first true cyber weapon, and it changed everything.

This episode dives into the complex, cloak-and-dagger story of Stuxnet, including:
āœ… How it used stolen certificates and zero-day exploits to infiltrate secure systems
āœ… Why it’s almost certainly a state-sponsored operation by the US and Israel
āœ… How it rewrote the rules of warfare—no soldiers, just code with real-world impact
āœ… The retaliation: Iran’s response and the cyber arms race it triggered
āœ… What came next: Nitro Zeus and the dark future of AI-powered cyber weapons
āœ… Why the lack of global cyber law is one of the most dangerous blind spots of our time

šŸ‘ļøā€šŸ—Øļø From secret ops to silicon warfare, this episode is part history lesson, part cautionary tale—and a wake-up call about the invisible wars already happening around us.

šŸŽ§ Hit play now and find out how one virus changed the future of warfare.
