scale cyber attack on Iranian nuclear plant?

In June, a dangerous worm called Stuxnet infected computer systems of several large corporations. A few days ago, researchers have made safety a breakthrough discovery: the real purpose was probably Stuxnet Iranian nuclear reactor in Bushehr.

Stuxnet immediately after the appearance has been called the most sophisticated of existing viruses. No other program does not exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities four system at a time. Stuxnet spread particularly intense in India, Indonesia and Iran. Its destructive potential and demonstrates the fact that it fell prey to as many as 60 percent of all komputeróww Iran.

analysis of malicious code and the fact that the opening of a nuclear power plant in Bushehr was suddenly postponed to another date, led the German scientist Ralph Langner concluded that Stuxnet was created in order to destroy a specific Iranian power. Evidenced by the nature of the program itself, which remains dormant until it lands on fertile ground. Then activates - causing injury. Such a signal for activation is the recognition by Stuxnet machines with software from Siemens, is often used in industry. Thus Stuxnet and allow malicious code remotely take control of computer systems in industrial plants.
