Permalink How the ‘NYT’ swallowed the Stuxnet worm

On January 16, the New York Times ran a front-page story by William Broad, John Markoff, and David Sanger entitled "Israeli Test on Worm Called Crucial in Iran Nuclear Delay," supposedly unveiling the joint US/Israeli role in creating and testing the now-famous Stuxnet computer virus reportedly employed against Iran’s nuclear program. According to the article, this piece of malware is responsible for setting back Iran’s nuclear program by possibly years. The reaction in the blogosphere and news media following has been one of widespread awestruck acclaim, with various outlets referring to the advent of Stuxnet as an “Oppenheimer moment”, “the Hiroshima of our time” along with slews of hypothetical analyses of the world-changing implications of such technology. I was astonished at the near-total acceptance of the claims laid out by the NY Times article.
