International Space Station Infected With USB Stick Malware

I don't see what the fuss is all about. They are open to infection. They're built on linux, rather than an entirely custom system. So they're vulnerable to existing malware floating around.

Custom systems would also be "open to infection". It just probably wouldn't be very likely.

It is very difficult to not read a strong implication into that line. If nothing else, then the line is useless and states nothing at all.
