Stuxnet: The malware that cost a billion dollars to develop?

A report from the Netherlands claims that a Dutch man played a key role in the notorious Stuxnet worm attack against an Iranian nuclear facility, which then accidentally escaped into the wider world. It’s not news that the US and Israel are widely believed to be the creators of the sophisticated Stunxnet malware, which exploited zero-day flaws to sabotage Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities at Natanz, or that the US is believed to have later tried to use a version of Stuxnet against North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.
