The end target is going to be able to know they were the target, and the attacker wont be able to use this technique again." And I am sure that the brilliant genius who designed that sucker knows that full well. Tricks like that are easy enough to foil, which is why when you use them you go for maximum effect.
By all indications, this one worked perfectly, so hat's off to the schemers at Mossad!

I’ve read extensive technical articles on this (20+ yrs. in computers) and they state that clearly this (Stuxnet) was not the work of one person, but an extensive incredibly expert high level team of such a high level that it had to be a country.
Of course, we all know who that had to have been.
Kudos, Israel.....keep it up and bring the whole Muslim technical world down.
Of course, “Muslim technical world” is almost an oxymoron......or the size of a pea.....only Pakistan other than Iran.......

BTW in the dark world of hacking the word is that it was a joint US intelligence job that hatched it. Interestingly enough when the source is traced it leads to no significant place and the servers it looks for keep moving around meaning that it was planned that it would be discovered and shut down. As far as moving around and stopping it Microsoft still has not patched for it.
