Cyber Weapon in Toronto, Grid Attack, Stuxnet Lie Exposed

A rogue cyber weapon drove through Toronto blasting scam texts to thousands of phones. A major U.S. critical infrastructure provider confirms a cyberattack. And researchers reveal that Stuxnet may not have been the first cyber weapon after all.

In today's Cybersecurity Today with David Shipley:

• First known SMS blaster case in Canada uncovered in Toronto
• Itron, a major utility technology supplier, discloses cyber intrusion
• Researchers say a 2005 malware campaign predates Stuxnet
• Venezuela energy sector attack reveals destructive "Lotus Wiper" malware
• Why AI-powered attacks may change critical infrastructure risk forever

If you care about cybersecurity, nation-state threats, infrastructure risk, and real-world attacks, this episode is essential listening.
