That was my reaction too. But its a good read and that’s how newspapers sell. At this point, the origins of Stuxnet are probably an “open” secret.

Source: The Economist albeit, it was used and discovered in industrial espionage before"..the Bushehr reactor is controlled by Siemens systems [Germany], including the WinCC software that Stuxnet targets. Dr Langner,German security expert, speculates that it could have been infected via AtomStroyExport, the Russian firm that is building the plant.."

I remember Germany getting media grief as it was selling equipment to Iran's nuclear program, despite U.S. and United Nations sanctions; as the comment was made that Germany provides for another holocaust

BUT makes some sense to me now.

NewsMax in Oct. 2010 wrote: The German-Iranian Chamber of Industry and Commerce lists 200 German companies that maintain offices in Iran. German CEOs regularly travel to Iran and Dubai to participate in trade fairs.

Thus the story falls under "extended news"
