00:00And let's speak about some of the companies who suffered from this potential exploitation.

00:04The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration is reportedly affected by this.

00:09What kind of a risk does such a breach actually pose?

00:12So even if no classified information was stolen, what's at risk here?

00:15Okay, when we are talking about U.S. nuclear, we are talking about entities.

00:20Of course, they are not putting any critical data or any critical infrastructure

00:24or any data that are valuable on servers that are connected to the Internet.

00:29This is for sure.

00:30Here we are talking about data that should be stored.

00:34And, of course, they are storing all data in a certain server that they are not connected to the Internet.

00:38And they have certain, let's say, servers that they use the Internet,

00:42they use share files for certain connectivity and for certain use.

00:46But in all cases, when we are talking about any entity,

00:50whether governmental entity or non-governmental entity,

00:52because basically we are talking about more than 400 companies or governmental entities,

00:58they were affected by this attack.

01:00So at the end of the day, any company, whether nuclear, whether minister of defense or minister of interior

01:05or whatever entity, governmental or non-governmental,

01:08they will have to use any system from the market.

01:11They need companies like Microsoft.

01:13They need companies like CrowdStrike, FireEyes, Oracle, and so on.

01:18So they are using public and very well-known companies to be used.

01:22And whenever we are talking about Microsoft and any company, any system that is developed by people,

01:28they will always have bugs and errors and problems.

01:30And hackers nowadays, especially with all new AI tools, they are ahead of this.

01:35So no matter what you will do, if you are a nuclear entity or not,

01:39you will be affected sooner or later by a cyber attack.

01:41There is nothing called 100% secure.

01:43So in this case, I guess the damage there is very limited,

01:46but it means that we have to ring the bell that there is a big alert for a nuclear entity in the USA.
