Unlike Stuxnet, which specifically damaged Siemens PCS 7 systems, Duqu appears to be only collecting information about the design of other industrial control systems.
While attacks on critical infrastructure are relatively rare, recent months have seen viruses and other malicious programs hit control systems at oil treatment plants and other facilities.
The first transatlantic coupling could be an alliance of Thomson, a partly privatised French defence-electronics group, and Raytheon, America's fourth-biggest defence firm, with which it already collaborates on air-traffic-control and other systems.
But if you are a low-skilled immigration pessimist, especially if you are conservative, then this seems like a far preferable system to points systems or other command and control government handouts that are usually proposed.

Different laws cover the tapping of phones and the placing of other forms of listening devices with different systems of control and authorisation.
The spy program is a sophisticated rootkit designed to steal data from SCADA networks, the type of software that control energy utilities, transportation, and other vital systems.
Control systems are usually kept entirely separate from other systems, for good reason.
U.S. intelligence officials have grown increasingly alarmed about what they believe to be Chinese and Russian surveillance of computer systems that control the electric grid and other U.S. infrastructure.
These measures may help expedite approvals and reduce costs for notifying companies, and could well be taken up by other jurisdictions that have systems based closely on EU merger control, he added.
FORBES: EU Expected To Hit Hard On Antitrust Enforcement In 2013
This trend to single-supplier technology is under way in various other fields from submarines to air-traffic-control systems.
Under Wood Dana would build three things: drivelines (which transfer power from the transmission to the axles), sealing systems (which reduce oil consumption and emissions) and thermal-management systems (which control temperatures in batteries and other components).

However, other researchers have found many weaknesses in the software used to control Scada systems via the net.
It has been collecting data on control breaches, systems failures, fraud and a host of other operational risks for four years.
So the researchers were able to update the printers with fake firmware that contained software that let them control the printers and take advantage of their network access and other systems.

Throw the car hard into a right-hander, and the car wants to roll left but ARS counters the motion, flattening the attitude of the 7's chassis and keeping the car more directly on-line without (like other systems) having to bite at the progress of the wheels via traction control and other tricks.
What you won't hear McGovern boast about is the telematics (GPS and other interactive systems) monitor that hides in the center console, or the paddle-control automatic transmission shifter that resides on the steering column.
The sorts of computer systems it enters are those that control critical infrastructures like power plants, refineries and other industrial targets.
While the USSR has been widely praised especially by Secretary of State James Baker and other U.S. government officials for its stated willingness to "de-link" completion of a START Treaty on the one hand from an agreement limiting SDI systems on the other, Moscow has, in fact, redoubled its effort to use arms control to destroy the Strategic Defense Initiative.

And the biggest difficulty is that, even if Napster, say, were shut down by the courts, many other, more powerful, systems are waiting to take its place that have been designed to be still harder to control (see article).
