We reported last week about a malware threat known as Stuxnet that is designed to compromise industrial equipment. Due to the highly targeted nature of the Stuxnet worm and a large concentration of infections in Iran, analysts speculated that it may have been launched by a major government in an effort to sabotage Iran's controversial Bushehr power plant.

The Iranian government confirmed this week that computers at Bushehr were infected by the worm, but representatives claim that the infection was isolated to a handful of noncritical systems and hasn't disrupted the plant, which is in the final stages of construction and is expected to become operational in October.
