Top 10 articles: Stuxnet on the prowl again, and Google loses $5m Linux case

Security matters once again topped the most read articles this week, with the news that there could be more Stuxnet-like attacks on the way after 50 new threats were discovered targeting industrial control systems.

These Scada systems are often at greater risk because they are connected to legacy operating systems such as Windows 95, for which there are no service packs or automatic updates.

V3.co.uk readers were also keen to find out more on an online attack known as Blackhole discovered by AVG. The Blackhole Exploit Kit has enabled as many as 800,000 attacks a day, according to the security vendor.

On a related security note, we reported how some more old-fashioned crooks have been caught by police in Texas after they bragged on Facebook about their raid on a bank.
