Stuxnet Virus Now Biggest Threat To Industry

digitaldc writes "A malicious computer attack that appears to target Iran's nuclear plants can be modified to wreak havoc on industrial control systems around the world, and represents the most dire cyberthreat known to industry, government officials and experts said Wednesday. They warned that industries are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the so-called Stuxnet worm as they merge networks and computer systems to increase efficiency. The growing danger, said lawmakers, makes it imperative that Congress move on legislation that would expand government controls and set requirements to make systems safer."

Oh Grow up. Iran has not attacked any of its neighbors in the past 60 years. Israel has done it dozens of times and Israel is in violation of more than 50 UN resolutions.

The fact that critical thinking so quickly goes out the window for so many people when the govt says 'Iran wants to destroy us' is indeed, sad.
