One of the exploited bugs is a default admin password in Siemens SCADA equipment. Siemens released a statement shortly after Stuxnet was discovered, urging admins not to change the default password because it might have unexpected consequences.
Of course this attack was targeted in the sense that it went after SCADA equipment, but there was far more than a single target. Like I said, this is malware and malware is multi-purpose and reusable, and in this case it was used many, many times. These guys are looking for a story about how a single target was THE target, but they're missing the big picture.
