Watched a fascinating program on the box last night called 'Zero Days'. All about the now famous Stuxnet virus/worm that was allowed to self-replicate all over the world. The Americans and the Israelis came up with this one to neutralize Iran's attempt to create an atomic bomb. The virus basically hid in the CPU of the PLC's controlling the plant - it fed false information to the SCADA systems that the technicians use to control the plant. It was telling them that everything was OK but it was systematically destroying the core components in the plant (centrifuges). Bloody clever. First decent program they have had on TV for ages.
