RE: Windows systems at risk from Stuxnet attack
CrazySaint 19th Jul 2010
So, if I understand correctly, one of the following scenarios must take place in order for the malware to be executed:

1) The attacker must deliver the USB stick into my hands and convince me to plug it into my computer, or;
2) The attacker must have physical access to unsecured computer to plug the USB stick into directly.

While this issue should be corrected, it would seem to me that if the attack is successfully executed, your choice of OS is probably not the most serious security flaw in your system.
