tom passed along Bruce Schneier writing in Forbes on the Stuxnet worm. Would that all journalism was this informative and well written.

Very fine piece, and most frustrating. The phrase "Or perhaps not" keeps coming up whenever he speculates. It seems unlikely the Israelis would be dumb enough to leave Queen Esther in the mix. Now for real paranoia, what if Stuxnet is just a diversion, and while everybody is wondering about it the much more subtle Meltdownnet worm is working its way through the Iranian system to await the order to withdraw all the control rods, shut down the alarm system, and to back up all the toilets. Of course, since the reactor was built by the Russians, the plumbing probably doesn't work anyway.
