I've Been Thinking:
Remember Stuxnet and DUQU? They were 2 of the worms that have attacked Iranian nuclear installations and computer systems.
Yesterday the Russian anti-virus company names Kaspersky gave even more insight in to the worms. They confirmed that the worms were related. This is what I have said since the end of October when DUQU arrived on the scene.
But most importantly Kaspersky says that there are five more worms. They called them cousins.
My contacts explain that more worms like Stuxnet were inevitable. The principle behind the worm is to attack Iran. Not to attack once but to constantly attack. And each attach sets the stage for another future attack.
There are two reasons why there must be more Stuxnet worms:
The worms cost too much money to develop and as such they need a complete set of them.
A single attack would never be significant enough to ultimately ruin the Iranian nuclear system.
