Week 4

http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/38955/page1/

I created a make up blog for the one I was missing.  This blog describes the Duqu malware similiar to Stuxnet. 

Duqu was by Symantec as malware that gathers intelligence from computerized industrial control systems. It doesn't do damage, but rather spies on them to gather information relevant to making future attacks.

"Symantec researchers wrote that Duqu has circulated for 10 months and is "essentially the precursor to a future Stuxnet-like attack," but with the target unknown."

The code was discovered in Europe by an undisclosed research team and given to Symantec for analysis. Symantec says its researchers have found Duqu on computers "around the globe."
