A computer virus attacked Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. Though no harm was done, some experts say the Stuxnet worm could mean a new age of cyber warfare.
Rightardia agrees with Newsy. it is unlikely the US would launch such a complex virus because it could attack the US industrial base as well.
There is a high probability that Israel launched the attack to damage the Siemen's centrifuges used to harvest nuclear material. Such an attack would slow down the Iranian nuclear program.
Apparently the attack used four undisclosed Windows vulnerabilities. Rightardia has to wonder why Siemen's German engineers would use the Windows Operating System in their industrial controls. Windows is far less secure than Linux.
