Hmmm: A worm for Iran?

 CNET report Expert: Stuxnet was built to sabotage Iran nuclear plant
An industrial control security researcher in Germany who has analyzed the Stuxnet computer worm is speculating that it may have been created to sabotage a nuclear plant in Iran.
Hmmm.

I guess we won't know for awhile, if ever.

The bottom picture shows the worm nearing the reactor facility. That's a big worm.

  2. Lets hope that exposing the worm to all, at least, achieved the goals set by the inventors. Nasty beast and reverse engineering is a proven technology.
