Re: Stuxnet - malware for nuclear power plants
Doesn't surprise me a bit.
Doubtful ANY country has any reactor primary or secondary plant *controls* that use Windows or any other publicly accessible OS.
The OS would be proprietary to the equipment and Classified.
[Would be more like a firmware than an OS.]
Something like SCADA might be used for power use data logging [the grid] or to run the HVAC in the office areas, but that's about it in the US.
I suppose these villains could turn on the heat in the summer and piss-off the office pukes.
THE HORROR!
