"The malware, which FireEye has dubbed Triton, is only the third type of computer virus discovered to date that is capable of disrupting industrial processes."

This sounds incorrect ... Wasn't there (at least):

  1) Stuxnet (2010)
  2) Shamoon (2012)
  3) HAVEX (2013)
  4) BlackEnergy (2015)
  5) Industroyer (CrashOveride) (2016)
  6) Triton (??)

Naming it Triton is unfortunate since there has been a malware from 2004 with the same name[¹] that is totally unrelated.
