summary
A rapid case-by-case audit of famous nation-state operations shows most fail to achieve strategic aims: North Korea’s 2009 DDoS with botnet wiping prompts no policy reversal; Stuxnet destroys 1,000 of 9,000 centrifuges and only delays Iran months while spurring Iranian offensive capability; Shamoon hits Aramco but Saudi policy and oil flows continue; NotPetya disrupts Ukraine and causes global collateral damage but does not force Ukrainian de-escalation; Triton targets a Saudi refinery and stands out as an anomalous test of destructive intent.
