OT- Stuxnet

[Aecetia]

Just wondering where you with the expertise in computers think this worm came from. Kaspersky seems to think it had “nation state support.” 60% of the infected computers were Iranian. Seems like this could have been a trial run. “European digital security company Kaspersky Labs released a statement that described Stuxnet as “a working and fearsome prototype of a cyber-weapon that will lead to the creation of a new arms race in the world.” Kevin Hogan, Senior Director of Security Response at Symantec, noted that 60 percent of the infected computers worldwide were in Iran, suggesting its industrial plants were the target.[9] Kaspersky Labs concluded that the attacks could only have been conducted “with nation-state support”, making Iran the first target of real cyber warfare.[10][11][12]”

There seem to be plenty of the usual suspects including Israel. Some experts don’t rule out even China and Russia involved in some kind of cyber double cross. Keep selling them technology, then destroy it, so they keep having to buy more.
“Cyberspace is now seen as the fifth military battlefield near the ground from air, water and space.”

“The Stuxnet worm was first discovered in mid-June and was specially written to attack Siemens supervisory control and data (SCADA) systems commonly used to control and monitor industrial facilities – from traffic lights and oil rigs to power and nuclear plants, state run Global Times daily reported few days ago.’This malware is specially designed to sabotage plants and damage industrial systems, instead of stealing personal data. It will seriously threaten pillar industries in China, which has 420 million internet users,’ Wang said.”

Sounds like this could start a war, or has it already started?
