Because the computers are air-gapped from the internet, however, they 
cannot be reached directly by the remote attackers. So the attackers 
have designed their weapon to spread via infected USB flash drives.

...

To ensure greater success at getting the code where it needed to go, 
this version of Stuxnet had two more ways to spread than the previous 
one. Stuxnet 0.5 could spread only by infecting Step 7 project files—the 
files used to program Siemens PLCs. This version, however, could spread 
via USB flash drives using the Windows Autorun feature or through a 
victim’s local network using the print-spooler zero-day exploit that 
Kaspersky Lab, the antivirus firm based in Russia, and Symantec later 
found in the code.

...

Based on the log files in Stuxnet, a company called Foolad Technic was 
the first victim ...

...

A USB flash drive, of course, was Stuxnet’s primary method of spreading. 
Although Behrooz and his colleagues scanned for viruses, they found no 
malware on their machines.
