One of the strangest and most interesting stories of the last week has been the apparent cyber attack on Iranian computer systems that may have targeted the nuclear plant at Bushehr.

Stuxnet, unlike other forms of malware that extract information, allegedly can take control of an automated system and change it. What makes Stuxnet frightening is the level of sophistication. It is complex, targeted and massive, a completely new virus that has the feel of a cyber warfare weapon. Iranian officials stated the malware had infected 30,000 computer systems, including personal computers for personnel who work at Bushehr. The immediate response is the United States or Israel committed the attack. But, maybe laying blame at the U.S. or Israel is too quick a judgment.
