Stuxnet: The Cyberweapon That Almost Blew Up a Nuclear Powerplant - Update

Back in September 2011 I wrote a blog article entitled "The Cyberweapon That Almost Succeeded in Blowing Up a Nuclear Power Plant" that told the story of the cyber attack on an Iranian nuclear power plant.  Recently CBS 60 Minutes picked up on the Stuxnet story and created a 15 minute segment entitled "Stuxnet: Computer worm opens new era of warfare".  Security professionals have been sounding the alarm for years that our power facilities, power grid, and manufacturing plants are vulnerable to sabotage by a cyber attack. I highly recommend you watch this video.
