Without looking I remember zero-day and stuxnet are the same, ISreal used it to take out Iranian centrifuges but somehow it infected the worlds windows machines. This “highly sophisticated actor.” is just BS, ISreal is who you look for.

Zero day isn't code like student. Its slang for an exploit that has had zero days of work put into fixing it. They're fairly rare and sought after, so usually only one is used, as more then that is overkill. Stuxnet used 3-4 zeroday exploits IIRC. Also the NSA's fingerprints were all over stuxnet. It was an obvious collaboration with mussad.

And this is why I use Apple. No one with any degree of competence gives a shit.
