I'm in the networking industry, this worm is more like a living organism the way it changes and adapts. As the article said it is most definitely less worm, and more weapon. What's scary is that this isn't specific to just nukes or Iran; this can literally be adapted to take over anything and everything.

I don't know if it is true or not but I read an article somewhere that somehow a "clue" in the code of the worm pointed to Isreal.
But as far as I am concerned, whomever did it, bravo.

Originally, all eyes turned toward Israel’s intelligence agencies. Engineers examining the worm found “clues” that hinted at Israel’s involvement. In one case they found the word “Myrtus” embedded in the code and argued that it was a reference to Esther, the biblical figure who saved the ancient Jewish state from the Persians. But computer experts say "Myrtus" is more likely a common reference to “My RTUS,” or remote terminal units.
So while every sensor may report it spinning at say 3000 rpms, it's really spinning at 5k. This is silent nuking, and it's terribly scary to think about. Imagine every plane in the sky just dropping at the same time.... yes, this makes that very possible.
