Stuxnet: The most serious threat yet?

[ Thanks to AV for this link. ]

"Stuxnet is something unique, however. It has been causing something of a stir in the security community since it was first spotted by a small company from Belarus named VirusBlokAda.

"When Microsoft put out an alert over the virus in July, Stuxnet quickly moved from being a relative unknown to something serious.

"Then earlier this month, Stuxnet was observed doing something unprecedented: exploiting four zero-day vulnerabilities at once. It is this advanced capability that has caused such a commotion."
