Stuxnet Q&A
Fascinating details about the worm in F-secure’s standard no-nonsense format. Excerpts:
Q: Which factory is it looking for?
A: We don’t know.
Q: Has it found the factory it’s looking for?
A: We don’t know.
Q: What would it do if it finds it?
A: It makes complex modifications to the system. Results of those modifications can not be detected without seeing the actual environment. So we don’t know.
Q: Ok, in theory: what could it do?
A: It could adjust motors, conveyor belts, pumps. It could stop a factory. With right modifications, it could cause things to explode.
