Stuxnet is a new computer virus on the block. Actually, the block is pretty good. It is one of the first viruses to recognize that is designed for computers in the factory. Car plants, colors, fixtures, metal fabrication factories, you name it - have computers that run the operations at these locations have infiltrated quiet and crippled by Stuxnet for months. The thing is, these viruses for the factory is not very far from the Windows versus Mac debate away that weusually hear when we discuss viruses. Stuxnet lives industrial automation technology from Siemens is running Windows. The only thing this proves is that virus makers small goals are attractive when they are new enough to do.
Stuxnet has simply want to make a nuisance of himself? Or is there something worse that it be after? There is in fact a larger agenda. It tries to copy the industrial design blueprints to some unknown remote receiver to send. And then it triesSabotage equipment by facilities not working. The virus is easily removed with all major PC anti-virus program for your home. The interesting thing is, they believe that it would have made use of some government. The main target and victims appear to be the factories in Iran. Given all the excitement there is around the world to do with Iran's nuclear program, this is quite understandable.
The only problem is, has not even mentioned Stuxneton the nuclear facilities of Iran. It is spread all over the world and everywhere plagued factories concerned, if not even shut it. Studies that the experts have done the complex new computer virus really show on this that it's a great program, and that it is. It does come with the ability to change the operating system the computer is there to make. Everyone's first thought was that this is just a program to help someone steel industry secrets. It could potentially make changesfactory automation, that could lead to disaster - Film-style, with excessive speed on a machine that could be made to explode, turbines made to run higher than its design would make it possible to have break it - you get the picture.
No one knows what kind of sabotage, the creator of the program had in mind. All that is known that whoever designed the program has full knowledge of Siemens Industrial Automation Systems to be able to attack them. They also have detailed knowledge ofHardware made by Realtek and J. Micron of Taiwan. What they do not know that this is not a trick. And to think that all of our survival on the security of Windows from.
