Wow, this is scary stuff that appears to be right from a Shadowrun plot.  A highly sophisticated computer worm designed to do real-world harm to critical infrastructure systems, probably sponsored by a nation-state or a private investor with very deep pockets.  All that's missing in this one is hiring a runner team to deliver the virus.
Stuxnet could hijack power plants, refineries

I've said it before.

Every day, in every way, the world comes closer and closer to that of Shadowrun.
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."
