Scary if an enemy state gets their hands on this kind of stuff. Scarier still, if a terrorist organization gets their hands on it.

Re: War from a cubicle?
even more scary is that normal hackers are probably going to get their hands on this, study it, and implement it for windows.
as for protected industry from this threat - i would suggest just isolating important systems from computers so that they are human controlled instead. |

There are few process systems on the planet that aren't computer controlled, the cost just can't be compared. The human factor is often at fault for these types of infections. Our process network is completely separate from our business LAN and despite much user training and prevention methods, infections are still happening (though not often) There are more and more virus's turning up that are targeting SCADA systems which is both interesting and worrying, we have had some healthy discussions at my work around the intention and future of this kind of thing, it is very possible that one day people will be able to purchase these kinds of "Weapons" both from a company competition standpoint and just people wanting to be a$$holes. Might sound like silly conspiracy stuff now, but you all know as well as I do that there are more than enough people out there with no time and no morals willing to write these programs, and there are certainly enough people out there willing to us them fro personal gain. |
