Stuxnet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its a virus that infects windows computers with the goal of being hooked up to to industrial controllers. Specifically it seems this current for was designed to compromise Irans nuclear program. Its very interesting and scary stuff. The level of difficulty and amount of specialized knowledge about Irans refineries hints that this may be a government sponsored virus.

Im no conspiracy theorist but this does seem like it is quite out of the realm of some guy in his moms basement. :undecided:

At this point the virus is worldwide and infects 60% of the windows OS computers in Iran.
