Iran Nuclear Plant Infected by Computer Worm

Computers at Iran’s first nuclear power plant have been infected by the worm Stuxnet, which is being touted as the most complex worm ever created and is capable of seizing the systems which control the inner workings of industrial plants.

The IRNA news agency is quoting the head of the Bushehr nuclear plant, Mahmoud Jafari, as saying a team is inspecting several computers to remove the malware, but that it "has not caused any damage to major systems of the plant."
