Second paragraph of the executive summary:

"Another section of this paper is dedicated to the discussion of several 
popular misconceptions about Stuxnet, most importantly how difficult it 
would be to use Stuxnet as a blueprint for cyber-physical attacks 
against critical infrastructure of the United States and their allies. 
It is pointed out that offensive cyber forces around the world will 
certainly learn from history’s first true cyber weapon, and it is 
further explained why nation state resources are not required to launch 
cyber-physical attacks.  It is also explained why conventional infosec 
wisdom and deterrence does not sufficiently protect against 
Stuxnet-inspired copycat attacks."
