Was Russia Behind Stuxnet?

An anonymous reader writes "Despite the U.S. and Israel being widely assumed to be responsible for Stuxnet, Russia is the more likely culprit, says U.S. Air Force cyber analyst. The nuclear gangsterism of the past 20 years gives it plenty of motive. Quoting: 'So what better way to maintain Russian interests, and innocence, than to plant a worm with digital U.S.-Israeli fingerprints? After all, Russian scientists and engineers are familiar with the cascading centrifuges whose numbers and configuration – and Siemen’s SCADA PLC controller schematics – they have full access to by virtue of designing the plants. ... the observers of the virus could alert the Iranians before full nuclear catastrophe struck. The Belarusian computer security experts who 'discovered' the code seemingly played that role well. They didn't seem too preoccupied with reverse engineering the malicious code to see what it was designed to do.'"

    . Even if Christianity is false, nobody has the right to destroy another country the way Iran wants to destroy Israel.



    and what proof do you have of that statement? Why can't they destroy Israel if they wanted to? The US does it all the time, why can't they share in the fun?

    As a matter of proof, the statement that a nation can't destroy another presupposes an objective moral system, or a criterion to say what one can do or not. If there is no criterion, there is no way you can object.
