Interesting Engineering

Cyberattacks against critical infrastructure have evolved from isolated intrusions into strategic operations aimed at disruption, espionage, and physical impact. Early incidents such as Stuxnet, Operation Shady RAT, and BlackEnergy demonstrated that digital compromise can directly influence industrial equipment, military programs, and even national power grids. Researchers and honeypot experiments further revealed how adversaries probe control networks long before launching attacks, often remaining hidden for months or years.
