Do you support the "Stuxnet" move?

Hello there! I am known simply as Dove. A lover of good Information Security news. My love for Information Security news knows no bounds. I will be feeding you with hot meals weekly. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts after feeding from my table. 

I am not sure you have seen this news, but as I was going through www.technewsworld.com today, the title--Stuxnet Worm Could Turn—struck me and I quickly skimmed through. Question that came to mind was--As the world advances in technology, is cyber-attacks now the face of modern warfare? The content was more than HOT and I decided to convey it to you.

Worms just keep burrowing, non-stop

Eric Morphy was the presenter of the title today (June 4, 2012). He said, the virus Stuxnet that had gone wild and spread like fire from country to country since 2010 was created by the United States of America (USA) and the Israeli Government, as a type of attack designed to stop Iran’s nuclear ambition.

He said, when Stuxnet went into the wild casing damage, the Obama administration decided to continue the program instead of containing or shutting the virus down. Couple with that, Stuxnet is believed to have spread massively and control over it lost.

The New York Times published the news from a book not yet released—Confirm and Conceal: Obama’s Secret Wars and Surprising use of American Power, witten by David Sanger—and it suddenly became wide spread last week.

There seem to be argument for and against this move. While some view it as a well thought out strategy, others see it as a naïve move on the part of America.

Finally, Storms, a contributor I believe, says, “The technical and secretive nature of information warfare makes it almost impossible to assess the impact and ramifications of Stuxnet and other nation state-sponsored cyberattacks," "We simply don't have access to enough information.”
