It's a ridiculously long article, but fascinating enough to keep you going and easy to read, that thing really was a work of art :shock:

Have you seen the TED talk from the lead guy on the Stuxnet programme? (finding it not creating it)

No, but I'll certainly give it a go once I get a proper chance, cheers

Re: Stuxnet - the world’s first real cyberweapon

OIK, that's really weird.

I watched the Stuxnet TED talk last night and had a look at the article on Wiki.

I was also going to post a thread here about it.

BIZARRE!

It does seem to be an extraordinary bit of "kit" though.

I didn't really know anything about it when I started watching the TED talk so I didn't realise that he was talking about trying to work out what the thing was attacking and how.

US warns Stuxnet could get worse

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/368980/us-w ... -get-worse

Wouldn't be the first time they lost control of something they instigated, that's all I'm saying... :oops:

I've spent the last thirty minutes reading that article (anidst interruptions) and all I can say is WOW!
