Stuxnet: Mystery Surrounds Cyber Missile That Crippled Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Ambitions

Wanted to bookmark this incredible story of Stuxnet, the world’s first cyber warfare virus:

In the 20th century, this would have been a job for James Bond.

The mission: Infiltrate the highly advanced, securely guarded enemy headquarters where scientists in the clutches of an evil master are secretly building a weapon that can destroy the world. Then render that weapon harmless and escape undetected.

But in the 21st century, Bond doesn’t get the call. Instead, the job is handled by a suave and very sophisticated secret computer worm, a jumble of code called Stuxnet, which in the last year has not only crippled Iran’s nuclear program but has caused a major rethinking of computer security around the globe.

Sounds like a sci-fi story but this is the new reality we live in. Fear the nerds (computer geeks)!
