Nice introduction of Trickbot to the board. To link to a forefather mentioned, Stuxnet

These TrickBot operators are the best,” said Eric Chien, a leading researcher at Symantec who was one of the first to identify Stuxnet, the code written by the United States and Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear centrifuges a decade ago. “If these tools were used in the election, in hindsight people would feel very bad. We’d ask, ‘Why did we wait?’”

Two of them.

But the idea of creating digital software that goes haywire and is uncontrollable isn't just a nightmare scenario—it's already happened. Consider that Stuxnet, a computer virus believed to have been created by the NSA to physically damage Iranian uranium enrichment factories, has now spread far across the internet and has infected Russian nuclear plants [ http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/stuxnet-americas-nuclear-plant-attacking-virus-has-infected-the-international-space-station ].
P - Stuxnet is a very specific piece of software that doesn't do much on regular computers besides replicate and spread itself, but it's easy to imagine superintelligence spreading itself across connected devices around the world. And then, maybe the only answer is to pull the plug on computers that we need. And then where are we?

The only other 2015 Stuxnet mention on the board is one from StephanieVanbryce

Report: Netanyahu may have leaked US secrets to hurt Iran negotiations
[...]
Some proponents of a nuclear deal with Iran may welcome this news as demonstrating that Netanyahu is a bad actor who should be sidelined from the negotiations process. But this would be misguided, and even proponents of a deal should worry about this development. One reason that Iran is willing to negotiate at all is that the US has succeeded in putting enormous pressure on the country and its nuclear program — often with crucial Israeli help. That has meant both gathering intelligence and, in cases such as the 2010 cyberattack on centrifuges via the Stuxnet virus, offensive operations.
