Chevron confirms 2010 Stuxnet hit

Chevron becomes the first U.S. company to confirm a network hit by the Stuxnet virus, an incident that reportedly occurred back in 2010 when the malware – designed to interfere with critical infrastructure operations – was discovered.

CIO Journal, Wall Street Journal’s tech news service, broke the news Thursday afternoon, and interviewed Mark Koelmel, the oil giant’s general manager of the earth sciences department.
