I honestly think that most of us forget we're just at the very start of the internet age, the world is going to be a very different place in the future.From the wikipedia:
"Among its peculiar capabilities is a fingerprinting technology which allows it to precisely identify the systems it infects. It appears to be looking for a particular system to destroy at a specific time and place. Once it has infected a system it performs a check every 5 seconds to determine if its parameters for launching an attack are met. The exact way through which Stuxnet destroys its target is still a mystery but it is thought that it may be programmed to cause a catastrophic physical failure by, for example, overriding turbine RPM limits or shutting down lubrication or cooling systems.[30][35] Since the complex code of Stuxnet looks for a very particular type of system and controller, it has been theorized that the target is of a high importance for the attacker."
Crazy.
