Real stuff came in Stuxnet virus which crippled Iranian Nuclear program
It is practically one definition of "non-trivial program" that it has bugs in it when you finish writing it.You always hope they will ALL be caught before the alpha testers, then the beta testers, then the public beta users (groups which steadily increase in size) are through with them, but in a rare edge-use case, everything has to fall exactly right (or exactly wrong) for the defect to show itself.And we're building our entire infrastructure on this stuff. This can't end well.
Our entire infrastructure has been built on "this stuff" for decades.
In 2007 a test was performed to demonstrate how a cyberattack could disable a physical device, specifically a 2.25 Mw generator. Wikipedia comments, "The unit was destroyed in roughly three minutes. However, this was only because the researchers assessed the damage from each iteration of the attack. A real attack could have destroyed the unit much faster."
