Holy shit. (sorry for the language)
It's indeed a new era in cyberwarfare. At this point it's now entirely possible to create viruses that override and take control of anything from industrial technology (as seen here) and things like military weapons systems. Destroying a country's infrastructure will become a high stakes game of intelligence and infiltration.
Remember that news item with Obama asking for powers for an internet "kill switch"? Looks like governments might also want to look into dipping their hands into microso0ft too to maintain security.
Holy shit.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
