Pandoras Box
On 60 minutes last night, Steve Kroft reported on the repercussions of the Stuxnet virus. He spoke with Sean McGurk, the former head of cyber defense at the Department of Homeland Security.
"Sean McGurk: You can download the actual source code of Stuxnet now and you can repurpose it and repackage it and then, you know, point it back towards wherever it came from.
Kroft: Sounds a little bit like Pandora's box.
McGurk: Yes."
