"This attack from an unknown source but likely related to Stuxnet, disabled one of the lists and thereby interrupted an important source of information for power plants and factories.[24]"

Yup. sucks to be attacked by your own government. I expect such things will happen more in the future. Not much to be done about it though, because they are willing to use their guns, and we apparently aren't.

I wouldn’t characterize it as being attacked by our own government - but rather a probable case of unintended collateral damage.

But now that the cat is out of the bag and third parties are reverse engineering the technology, it’s only a matter of time before weapons like these are in somebody else’s arsenal.

Are we prepared?
