http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet Seams to me that Stuxnet infects Windows and SCADA (wich i guees might be linux powered, not that it matters ).


scada controller (runs on windows as app) not the scada device (controlled by windows app)


What do you talk about? Stuxnet eventually deploys the native infected code for non-Windows PLC device, Windows is just a carrier not the final target:

"the Stuxnet worm incorporates several sophisticated means of propagation with the goal of eventually reaching and infecting STEP 7 project files used to program the PLC devices.

For initial propagation purposes, the worm targets computers running the Windows operating systems. However, the PLC itself is not a Windows-based system but rather a proprietary machine-language device."
