Stuxnet Worm Has Infected 14 Plants, Says Siemens

Siemens says the Stuxnet worm, which is designed to attack Siemens industrial control systems, has infected at least 14 plants, according to Computerworld. However, Siemens says that the worm hasn't caused any malfunction of process and production or any damage.

Siemens first warned of the worm in July. The worm exploits four zero-day vulnerabilities in Windows in an effort to infect industrial control systems.

Researchers at Symantec say it is the first worm built not only to spy on industrial systems, but also to reprogram them. Symantec Security Response Supervisor Liam O'Murchu explains that the worm uploads configuration information about the Siemens system to a command-and-control server, which then allows attackers to pick a target and actually reprogram the way it works.

Stuxnet has infected systems in the UK, North America and Korea, but the largest number of infections has been in Iran. Source
