Kim Zetter is an award-winning investigative journalist and author who covers cybersecurity, cybercrime, cyber warfare, privacy and civil liberties. She has been covering computer security and the hacking underground since 1999, most currently as a staff reporter for Wired, where she has been reporting since 2003. In 2006 she broke a story for Salon about a secret NSA room at an AT&T facility in Missouri that was believed to be siphoning internet data from the telecom's network operations center. In 2011, she wrote an extensive feature about Stuxnet, a sophisticated digital weapon that was launched by the U.S. and Israel to sabotage Iran's uranium enrichment program. It was the first virus-worm found in the wild that was designed to cause physical destruction, rather than simply steal data. She recently completed a book on the topic--Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon.
