Not yet, but it is still completely possible. Stuxnet was designed to cause physical damage to sensitive equipment. Imagine if a virus overloaded a power system. People could be injured by damaged transformers, people could be killed by failing electronics (anything from streetlights/stoplights to failing medical equipment). Iranian nuclear employees could have been injured or killed by the failing centrifuges. Anything that relies on inter-networked controller systems has potential to be attacked by a virus, and many of them have potential to be destructive to human life. |
