Project $5[$The implications of cyberattacks for industry and the Internet of things$]$

A number of cyberattacks over the last number of years have had a negative effect on the operations of organisations and the functionality of processes and products. Examples of such cyberattacks include the following:

The Stuxnet worm destroyed up to $20\%$ of Iran's nuclear centrifuges and thereby delayed its nuclear programme by a decade $($Venter $2018).$ It is described by Zetter $(2014)$ as the world's first digital weapon.

The first confirmed hack to disable a power grid took place in Western Ukraine and affected about $230000$ residents. It left them without electricity for several hours in winter $($Zetter $2016$; Williams $2016).$

A number of banks have been hacked, and millions of dollars have been stolen $($Pagliery $2016).$

The Shamoon virus infected the computer network and affected the business processes of Aramco, Saudi Arabia's national oil and gas company, on $15$ August $2012($Rashid $2015).$

Hackers have taken control of a vehicle on more than one occasion $($Prigg
