The plot is thickening. It already was said that Stuxnet'S developement was beyond the financial reach of just any private hacker organisation, and that background knowledge on the installations was needed that a hacker would not have if not being a specialist for the attacked installations himself.

The NYT now reports that Stuxnet is a cooperation between the two most likely suspects, Israel and the US, and that Israel tested the software, which is said to have been incredibly complex and clever, in an installation where they have copied the to-be-attacked hardware of the Iranian installations.

I admit I somewhat admire the competence level being shown in the design and developement of this cyber-weapon.

Edit: it seems the Times blocks access to the site somehow. Enter this search term at Google:

Israeli Test on Worm Called Crucial in Iran Nuclear Delay

Then find one of the first entries that is on the NYT website. This workaround works fo me. You should get an article with that healdine and 4 pages
