There are others mentioning the Linux plus VM (or WINE); but, from what I heard how it infects is more insidious than previous rootkits. It fakes out the OS to hide itself (though it hides in plain site). In short, this virus may be the most difficult one to forcefully remove we've seen.
Who knows how far backups for the SCADA system are infected. Is the firmware infected? It sounds as if the PLCs are infected as well.
What worries me with weaponized virus attacks from nation-states, is what if another entity mutates your virus to hijack it for their purposes? It seems like that is the next inevitable step.
So, thanks NSA/Mossad/HamsterNinjas to giving the Eastern Bloc keys to my bank account.
(Who am I kidding, I meant to my porn collection.)
But, why should I believe you? If you want to argue that side, you're going to have to present more evidence than logging in (course, that DOES rank you higher than most slashdot posts).
This is Discovery Channel, you're infringing on our trademark for our upcoming show "More Blowing Shit Up and Acting Like It's Educational" (Though actually, this idea sounds like it would require more thinking than their normal fair. So, it probably won't make it into the final cut. In it's place, using TNT to cut grass)
Damn, I am out of mod points. My dad taught me that very early in life - you're working for that piece of paper. That paper is just a way of saying: "Yea, I can do this crap by hand if I wanted/needed to."
He also had a huge directory full of video/audio lectures (some of the MIT ones you mentioned as well).
So, I am more of a self taught person, with a minor in B.S. for my M.S.

Count me in as one that bit on that worm the "press" used then :)
At first, I just scanned this:

But, looking deeper (in this very paper even), yea maybe it wasn't the Dirty Dozen afterall.

I wouldn't say nothing new. The sophistication is like going from B-29 to B-2. (e.g. stealth and accuracy)
(Common side effects from watching RedLetterMedia. Fear of pizza rolls.)
That's actually not a bad idea fans. We get to see JarJar die; he get's to die a hero (and not appear in the next 2 movies)

Stop stealing my sig! I rightfully stole this from some anon on another website!
(Wait, does this mean this wasn't a ultra-super rare pun drop?)
Tell that to that cat in the box! (He's getting hungry, please visit him! I can't take the wailing.)

Pssah. As a true post-cyberist, you would have broken the cyber-wall and commented on your comment.

I second that site, and offer up this one as well:

Oh, mrsquid3000BC;, yea, he's cool.
Devil's Advocate was OK, almost not worth pirating, but certainly not worth buying.
I'm not sure why you got modded funny. That was insightful/informative. That link/review is worth reading. The vet points to alternatives:
The War Tapes
Taking Chance
Pics or it didn't happen. Photoshopped pics are fine; sexual compromising preferred.

Hey, you contradicted yourself! Center mass -- headshot? Man, I expect more from you Lil' Wayne.

What if I said there would be mud wrestling with booth babes?
Pussy. Wax!
So YOU'RE who we blame for all "this"! I bet you trying to play QuarkCraft II with network resources.

Spoiled sport. Take your facts somewhere they are wanted.
Yea ... it's Hyperbole Headline Monday from slashdot!!!
