The former deputy director of the National Security Agency has taken issue with Oliver Stone’s biopic of one-time Nsa employee Edward Snowden.

It was one of the most concerning facets to arise from Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing; Stuxnet, a malicious computer worm that was allegedly hatched as a joint American-Israeli cyber weapon. Designed to cripple Iran’s nuclear program, the virus purportedly exploits the zero-day loop in computer software, all the while hiding any malicious files and processes that were carried out during said digital infiltration.
Hoping to shed light on that elusive Stuxnet is filmmaker Alex Gibney, who just recently launched Zero Days across theatres and on demand services. Available to view from Friday, July 8, We Got This Covered has an exclusive and thrilling clip to share, and you can find it in the player above.
Among those quizzed about the alleged cyber weapon are Colonel Gary D. Brown, Eric Chien, Richard A. Clarke, General Michael Hayden, Olli Heinonen, Chris Inglis, Vitaly Kamluk and Eugene Kaspersky.
