How long will it take to get here? That’s my question.

"Once Stuxnet successfully penetrates factory computers in China, those industries may collapse, which would damage China's national security,"

It is the Y2K of 2010. I don't think 14 year olds are making these viruses/worms in their bedrooms anymore.

It's probably already here.

The sad part is that it is relatively easy to avoid infection, even if you plug in an infected USB drive (which apparently is the initial vector of attack).

Windows XP can be configured to not "AutoPlay" a program on a USB drive. You just need the "TweakUI" utility from Microsoft.

Fortunately, it's been disabled by default in Windows 7.
