Description
Stuxnet is a piece of malware that was first discovered in 2010. It targeted supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and is believed to be responsible for causing significant damage to Iran's nuclear program. Stuxnet is classified as a cyberweapon.
Here you can see the code of Stuxnet as a scarf with the title »Stuxnet DataWeave«. The artist Jeff Donaldson creates glitch art. These are artworks inspired by glitches and malfunctions in computer software. For his Malweare series, a pun on the term malware, Donaldson uses special software to transform the code underlying some of the most notorious malware programs of all time into fabric patterns.
