What an irony... all this talk of striking Iran militarily and the angst of whether Israel may launch said attack, then for Iran to get flanked by something like this... Ha... Ha-ha.... bwaa-haaaahahahahahahahahahah.

The CIA is completely incapable of such genius. My guess is the Israeli’s or the Germans themselves.

Kaspersky Labs appears to agree. From their press release last Friday:

The inside knowledge of SCADA technology, the sophistication of the multi-layered attack, the use of multiple zero-day vulnerabilities and legitimate certificates bring us to an understanding that Stuxnet was created by a team of extremely skilled professionals who possessed vast resources and financial support.

The target of the attack and the geography of its outbreak (primarily Iran) suggests that this was not a regular cyber-criminal group. Moreover, our security experts who analyzed the worm code insist that Stuxnet’s primary goal was not to spy on infected systems, but to conduct sabotage. All the facts listed above indicate that Stuxnet development was likely to be backed by a nation state, which had strong intelligence data at its disposal.
