Iran Has Hacked US Energy Companies

Iran Has Hacked US Energy Companies "According to the WSJ, Iran has hacked US oil, gas and power companies. The hackers were able to gain access to control-system software 'that could allow them to manipulate oil or gas pipelines'. Basically, the hackers are far enough inside that people are starting to get worried."

That sounds bad. Are control systems on the Internet or is this a Stuxnet-like USB stick attack?
