The malware known as Stuxnet is proof that cyber war can be real. As the Department of Homeland Security recently noted: “attackers could use the increasingly public information about the [Stuxnet] code to develop variants targeted at broader installations of programmable equipment in control systems.” In short, we now face the prospect of cyber attacks that destroy real things (like the electric grid). That ought to give everyone pause.
