We summarize 30 years of digital warfare. Cyber war history either begins or ends with "Flame", the virus that is referred to as 20 times greater than the worst fumes cyber Stuxnet.

The virus has since the discovery Monday has created a stir the world has seen since the said Stuxnet was known in the summer of 2010.

It was commissioned by the UN body ITU (International Telecom Union) that the Russian security firm Kaspersky was first put on the track.

A formal warning was later issued by the UN to its member states, for fear that "Flame" can be used to break down all the country's digital infrastructure as well as the apparent main purpose, which so far seems to be espionage.  There is speculation now violently who may be behind the virus.

Worst list

There is certainly no doubt that the Internet has become a full fledged military arena .
The success of the History Channel and Discovery show about nothing that people like war history. Below, we've taken us to summarize chronologically some of the major cyber attack in history.

The number 16 is chosen because the journalist did not bother to edit down to 10  Or 15, for that matter.

Some of the attacks, you may have never heard of - and at the other end of the spectrum, we may fail to read committed utivgivelige sins.

Here's our attempt anyway:

1982: Stuxnet grandfather
Stuxnet explosive force in manipulating industrial control systems have actually been known to hush environment in almost exactly 30 years.

In 1982, the CIA managed with the help of a few lines of computer code planted to overload and blow up in the air on a Russian gas pipeline in Siberia.

Soviet Union was behind the West in software development, and planned the theft of several Canadian industrial systems.  CIA picked it all up, but chose to sabotage rather than to stop the theft.

The resulting gas explosion was about a quarter of the Hiroshima bomb and is among the largest non-nuclear detonation in history.
The campaign was first introduced 14 years later, with deklassifiseringen of the so-called "Farewell Dossier", documents delivered by a KGB defector in 1982.

1998: Radar hack-a
U.S. hacker into Serbia's air defense systems and sets Serbian air traffic controllers out of the game.

The cover did the bombing of Serb targets easier for U.S. and NATO during the Kosovo War.

The tactic was so effective that an initial plan to escalate the attack was pushed aside because they feared it would be too hard out of civilian targets.

1998-2000: "Moonlight Maze"
A systematic transfer of information from the Pentagon, NASA, Energy Department, private universities and various research institutions had been going on almost two years when it was discovered in 2000.

Sources have reported that the intruders gained information about map of military installations, troop movements and military equipment design.

The attack was traced to servers in the former USSR, but the incident is subject to strict secrecy and investigated today.

2001: "Code Red"

A computer worm in many varieties from July 2001, which infected over 300,000 computers in the United States.

It required the combined efforts of government and U.S. ISPs to prevent the worm from doing great harm.

Sites that went down, got the words "Hacked by Chinese".

2003-2004: Operation "Titan Rain"
Coordinated attacks on public and private data centers in the United States, probably with military / industrial espionage that purpose.
Lockheed Martin, Sandia National Laboratories (where the bulk of U.S. nuclear weapons are designed), and Redstone Arsenal (home to include aviation and missile command) were among those affected.

Located in China, in retrospect, thought to have military origins.

2005: Athens affair
When a 38-year-old Greek engineer was found hanged 9  March this year, stopped all tracks in one of the most fabled eavesdropping scandals ever.

Among the victims: The Greek prime minister, mayor of Athens and at least 100 other high-ranking Greek society stops.
Mobile operator Vodafone was subsequently fined, and telecommunications infrastructure vendor Ericsson has been a problem statement:

The extremely sophisticated hacking operation would be difficult to implement without some participation by, or at least a thorough knowledge and access to, Ericsson's systems and switching technologies.

2007: Radar-hack 2
Deep in the Syrian airspace managed Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighters 6  september 2007 to bomb a military installation that is believed to have had a role in a joint project of nuclear technology between Syria and North Korea.

The Israeli planes made it safely to the goal thanks to a targeted hacker action that put Syria's air defenses and radar systems out of action at the right time.

Israel and Syria have formally been at war since 1967.

2007: Cyber attack on Estonia

Popularly known as "Web War I".
An Estonian / Russian dispute over the demolition of the Russian war memorial in Tallinn triggered a massive denial of service attack that nearly got all the information online in Estonia to a halt.

Parliament, ministries, central banks, newspapers and television channels were affected.

As in "all" such attacks, the original men's formal affiliation with a state (in this case Russia) hard left to prove.

2008: CENTCOM attack
Was not recognized by the Pentagon until 2010.

Apparently unused sticks were placed in a laundry room at a U.S. military base in the Middle East, believing that someone would be very tempted.  It worked.

The result was that a computer worm penetrated deep into the systems of the U.S. military Central Command (CENTCOM). The clean-up took 14 months, and Russia remained as the main suspect.

2008: Georgia attack
In the midst of the conflict between Georgia and Russia in August 2008, the national media and government Web sites suffered a massive denial of service with the sender address Russia.

Public information channels were blocked for about a week, just as Russian troop movements were at their most vulnerable.

It was as usual not found any official, formal links between the attackers and a specific nation.

War in Georgia: powerless against computer attacks

2009: GhostNet attack
Discovered in March 2009 after 10 months of investigation by the Canadian Information Warfare Monitor.
Spyware coordinated from Chinese servers aggregate information from internal government computer systems throughout 103 countries.

Embassies, foreign ministries and other government agencies were particularly affected.  An early focus on eksiltibetanske environments strengthened the suspicion against China.

2009: Operation Aurora

Also known as the Google-China conflict.

In one of the most sophisticated and coordinated attacks could cyberangripere Chinese hacking gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents and also steal information from internal IT heavyweights such as Adobe, Symantec and Yahoo!, as well as Google itself.

The attack led to an agonizing conflict between Google and the Chinese government, and diplomatic issues at the state level.
2010: Stuxnet

The global cyberparanoiaens definitive breakthrough, and the virus that made the computer attacks recognized as a very real and physical method of warfare.

Computer worm would tamper with the Iranian Natanz urananrikingssentrifuger goal.

Juggling between several categories of highly sophisticated software hacking and large-scale, prior industrial espionage against including Siemens and operates manufacturers JMicron and Realtek.

To discover one so-called "zero-day" vulnerability is considered hard currency hacker.

Stuxnet had found and used small unheard of four such vulnerabilities in the Windows platform in a single attack.

Calculated as the ultimate pinnacle of malware.  Estimated dispatch: Israel / USA.

Programmed to destroy itself in three weeks, 24  June
