Stuxnet Computer Worm Still a Mystery to Officials

[CommanderFrank]

After months of being discovered, cybersecurity experts still have very little information on the purpose or the creator of the Stuxnet malware, according to Homeland Security

"It's very difficult to say 'This is what it was targeted to do,'" he said of Stuxnet, which some computer security experts have said may be intended to sabotage a nuclear facility in Iran. The worm has been found lurking on Siemens systems in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and elsewhere, but the heaviest infiltration appears to be in Iran, according to software security researchers.

Fortunately, Homeland Security was able to ascertain that information upon making a call to the nearby NSA. Homeland had no further comment after the director stated "Whoops, I was supposed to leave that part out."

I would be surprised if this isnt creation of either NSA or one of Israeli intelligence services.

After months of being discovered,

that's quite a long discovery. Or is that "Months after being discovered"?
