Stuxnet: I'm assuming that everything I read about this is probably a lie.

Stuxnet is a computer worm that supposedly infected the computers in Iran for the purpose of shutting down their nuclear enrichment operation. No one is claiming responsibility, but the journalists writing articles about it are talking about it like a nice, happy thing that we're proud of and glad about. Perhaps they're hoping that if they brag loudly enough, the real culprit will get his ego affronted and say, 'No you didn't! I'm the one who did it!' Sort of like drawing a serial killer out of hiding.

Maybe someone should write malware that will shut down the printing presses at the Federal Reserve? They've already got control of the electronic trading systems (Wall Street stock market, etc).
