Differentiate the threat to a computer from electrical surges and spikes versus the threat from viruses

Computers and Technology
2 answers:
musickatia [10]4 years ago

Electrical surges can overload a computer (or really any plugged in device) and the instant jump in power can fry the computer, ruining the hardware.  viruses are made to invade youre computer through software and some viruses have the goal of finding personal information or trying to get money.  this can be done by a virus locking down your computer until you send $_____ to an account or buy something.

Well, in my opinion, the difference would be that electrical surges can damage the equipment or parts inside of a computer, while a virus is typically built for damaging things like the OS, Software, or Files. Though a virus CAN damage equipment, like the <span>Chernobyl Virus, it isn't all that common</span>

Sample answers of What assets were targeted Stuxnet and the team behind the worm?
Damm [24]
The assets were programmable logic controllers (PLCs).  Which controlled systems like prison doors and centrifuges for separating nuclear material. 

The "who" is still debated.  Credit (if you use that word) is given to the Equation Group.  But that is still hotly debated as there seems to be a political agenda with the attack and many still believe this was nation-state sponsored.  I can be easy to leave digital fingerprints behind to make it seem like a known hacking team.
