This malware uses four 0day vulnerabilities, stolen device driver certs, and specifically targets industrial control systems. I'll be very interested to see who it turns out was the target of this attack.

- bobds 16y agoI read that article and I'd really like to read more about this part: "A previous historic example includes a reported case of stolen code that impacted a pipeline. Code was secretly 'Trojanized' to function properly and only some time after installation instruct the host system to increase the pipeline's pressure beyond its capacity. This resulted in a three kiloton explosion, about 1/5 the size of the Hiroshima bomb." EDIT: Found the story, it might not be entirely true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage
