4. I remember reading about this a couple months ago when some hackers
grabbed the Stuxnet Code and stated that it was a generic form that could be manipulated for specific tasks. I thought it was pretty cool how it was laid out to give false positives with Siemens operating systems. If I understand how it works, I think it shadows most Siemens operating systems and feeds data to operators that appear as though everything is working fine as in the centrifuges have to follow a specific recipe of time and rpm's. But in reality the may spin slower or faster.
I also read that once in the system it has real time monitoring and manipulation from outside undetectable sources. And it could be delivered remotely.
