The issue with Stuxnet has been making new over last few weeks. While ESET has been regularly blogging on thier official blog at blog.eset.com about this issue, the big question remains. Was Stuxnet developed by a nation state sponsored to attack/infiltrate Iran? Iran has reported that their nuclear facility was infected by this malware and further reports that they have clean up the problem. Some news portal are going as far as linking it to specific countries.
We don't have the exact answers (but we are certain that ESET users are continuously protected against the stuxnet threat). A whitepaper written by ESET's research team attempts to clarify some of the characteristics of the virus, but the question remains to be answered.
