Just as the Israelis breached the Iranian Nuclear network.

Stuxnet was a worm, not a virus. If that's what this is, then Linux systems are just as vulnerable as Windows. The vulnerability is in the application, not the OS.

Uri'el>Just as the Israelis breached the Iranian Nuclear network.

Stuxnet was a worm, not a virus. If that's what this is, then Linux systems are just as vulnerable as Windows. The vulnerability is in the application, not the OS.

The vector of the breach was
via an infected thumb drive.

The object OS for both the network and
the Process Control system were both
Microsoft with known holes.

Microsoft is like swiss cheese
compared to any *nix

The original architecture for Microsoft
was for a single seat, no network and
no hostile environment.

Berkley Unix was designed for multi-user, networked and a hostile network.
