Larry Seltzer believes the report from Britain’s Sky News that the source code for the Stuxnet worm is being traded on the black market and could be used by terrorists is highly unlikely.

Larry is by no means the only skeptical security blogger. AVG’s Roger Thompson and Sophos’s Paul Ducklin agree.

Sky News may be confused by the fact that an exploit for one of the Stuxnet 0-day vulnerabilities was released a few days ago. While this is problematic, it is by no means Stuxnet itself.
