America's Hidden Stories - Season 1 - Eps 5: CIA Cyber Attack
It's a Cold War story involving a turncoat KGB agent, doctored computer chips, and a fiery blast in the Siberian wilderness big enough to see from space. Modern historians investigate the claim of a June 1982 explosion of a Russian gas pipeline to see if it was the result of the world's first-ever cyber attack, a retaliatory measure secretly ordered by Ronald Reagan to bring the Soviet Union to its knees.
