InfoSec News: Iran admits Stuxnet worm infected PCs at nuclear reactor: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9188147/Iran_admits_Stuxnet_worm_infected_PCs_at_nuclear_reactor
By Gregg Keizer Computerworld September 27, 2010
Although some computers at Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor were infected by the Stuxnet worm, none of the facility's crucial control systems were affected, Iranian officials claimed Sunday.
The news followed Saturday's admission by Iran that Stuxnet had infected at least 30,000 computers in the country. The worm, which researchers have dubbed the most sophisticated malware ever, targets Windows PCs that manage large-scale industrial-control systems in manufacturing and utility companies.
Those control systems, called SCADA, for "supervisory control and data acquisition," manage and monitor machinery in power plants, factories, pipelines and military installations.
"The studies show that few PCs of Bushehr nuclear power plant workers are infected with the virus," Mahmoud Jafari, the facility's project manager, told Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency on Sunday.
