For all the nerds out there, this is fascinating reading. For the others, the readers digest version is, someone, possibly (probably) in the USA, managed to get access to all the nuclear plant controllers in Iran except someone else in US at Symantec managed to spot it before they could cause havoc. This is where the internet security threats are these day, targeted and purposeful. Friggin scary stuff!
A long read but I know the propeller heads here will read it as they go into detail with the code etc.....

I must be a propeller head. A compelling read indeed.
Thanks for sharing.

Damn you, Drikko. I have a report to get out, and I'm reading the article you linked. Far from being a propeller head - I'm usually considered an air head - although I ride a K. Absolutely fascinating read, and I'm only half way through!

Sorry Jim 
I see in the news a third Iranian Nuclear Scientist got killed yesterday. A very professional execution it was too. Pretty scary stuff!
