Stuxnet didn't have a lot of civilian casualties (if any?) but it did cause a lot of monetary damage to civilian companies.

However this was of course unintended, the malware was never meant to make it out to the wider world.

It's implausible that any "civilian" company was involved. Pretty much all companies involved in the Iranian infrastructure, especially covert nuclear projects, are directly or indirectly owned by IRGC.

    Yes but Stuxnet escaped to the internet and infected a lot of Western companies. This is in fact how we even know about it at all.

    That's the damage I'm talking about.
