Something to think about.. there was a cuber attack against Iran and its nuclear development program by a cyberweapon, known at Stuxnet. This was not an amateur effort but a product that could only be made by a few countrues with the resources and knowledge to develop, test, and target this program to a specific location. Now it has been released to the wild, and probably is now in the hands of others who with a bit of reverse engineering may be able to retaliate. Thanks to the original creator we are now living in an era of cyberwar. The article where this appeared features other often overlooked stories that flew below the radar.
