Comments
Worms like Stuxnet are two-edged swords. If a nation made it, then they would just happen to be pre-armed against it. Iran considers that the worm came from Israel or the USA. Iran could easily counterattack the West by simply copying the worm from one of its computers, and using an agent, insert the code, by stick or otherwise, into another nation's computer system. What security procedures are in place that can stop that? Sloppiness in any security procedures means poor training and supervision. You don't give an enemy the ammunition to shoot you with.
