Obama ordered Stuxnet cyberattack, reports say. Did it leave US vulnerable? Stuxnet, the world's first publicly identified cyber superweapon, was unleashed against Iran's nuclear fuel-enrichment facility as part of a joint US-Israel cybersabotage operation, according to press reports Friday citing anonymous administration officials. Stuxnet part of US 'Olympic Games' cyber-weapons programme The Stuxnet worm was part of a US cyberweapons programme called 'Olympic Games' sanctioned by President Obama to attack Iran's nuclear facilities that unexpectedly escaped the country's enrichment plants, a forthcoming book will claim. Stuxnet Worm Crafted by U.S., Israel to Thwart Iran's Nuclear Program The Stuxnet virus that emerged in 2010 was a cyber weapon jointly developed by U.S. and Israeli officials in an effort to shut down the development of Iran's nuclear program, according to the New York Times. Report: Obama Ordered Stuxnet Attacks on Iran UPDATE: U.S. President Barack Obama ordered the Stuxnet cyberattacks on Iran in an effort to slow the country's development of a nuclear program, according to a report. Stuxnet Was a Joint US/ Israeli Project I don?t think anyone?s really all that surprised to find out that Stuxnet, the computer virus/trojan, was a US and Israeli project. The thought and idea has been commonplace for some time. But it is pretty surprising, not to say down right odd, to see it being officially confirmed: Cyberattacks on Iranian nuclear program were ... What Stuxnet's Exposure As An American Weapon Means For Cyberwar Two years of theories and speculation in the cybersecurity research community were confirmed Friday morning: Stuxnet was indeed the first known digital attack launched by a government to destroy another country's physical infrastructure. And the government that launched it was ours. As revealed in an extensive report from an upcoming book by Here's How the Stuxnet Virus Could Be Used Against the U.S. The cat is out of the bag: The United States is the first known country to carry out a sustained cyber attack with the intent of destroying another country's infrastructure. Earlier today, The New York Times' David Sanger confirmed America's role in developing Stuxnet, the computer worm deployed against Iran's nuclear facilities in coordination with the Israeli government. ... Beyond Stuxnet: massively complex Flame malware ups ante for cyberwar Stuxnet move over. Cybersecurity researchers on Monday announced the discovery of Flame, a piece of malicious software that one firm has called "arguably ... the most complex malware ever found." Report: Obama Ordered Stuxnet to Continue After Bug Caused It to Spread Wildly Despite an error in the Stuxnet worm that attacked Iran's uranium enrichment program, which caused the malware to spread wildly out of control and attack computers outside of Iran in 2010, President Barack Obama ordered U.S. officials who were behind the attack to continue the operation. How Obama Was Dangerously Naive About STUXNET and Cyberwarfare A Times exposé suggests that the White House failed to consider how our own cyberweapons would be used against us. If the New York Times' comprehensive account of the birth of the STUXNET worm that slowed Iran's efforts to enrich uranium tells us anything, it's that the Obama administration was remarkably naive about the potential for the proliferation of the cyberweapons it was developing.
