suspect the worm's only purpose is to serve as a weapon in a virtual war in which no power can stop an entire nation with just giving the order to the worm. He speculated that the target of the worm is the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran, working with el programa de Siemens afectado. Langner sospecha que los problemas técnicos que sufrió la planta el año pasado fueron causados por el gusano Stuxnet. Además, el experto sospecha que la gran cantidad de infecciones que tiene este país son porque los atacantes quieren llegar a esta planta.
El experto comparte las sospechas de que el gusano es demasiado sofisticado como para que haya sido creado por un pirata informático común y corriente: “este no es un simple pirata sentado en el sótano de la casa de sus padres. Yo creo que sólo una nación tiene suficientes recursos como para organizar este ataque”.
Entre los principales sospechosos de haber desarrollado el gusano se encuentran Estados Unidos and Israel, according to Langner are two nations with more resources and motivation to attack Iran's nuclear plants.
"The attack combines an amazing amount of technical knowledge: just think of the number of unknown vulnerabilities exploited, stolen certificates, etc. This could only have been composed by a highly qualified team of experts, some with experience in control of specific systems. "
Langner's study found that Stuxnet is not spyware, but a program designed to launch attacks to destroy and cause physical damage to systems with very specific settings Siemens.
"The problem is not Stuxnet. Stuxnet is history, "Langner said," The problem is the new generation of malware to come. " Langner
present the results of their study in a private conference in Maryland, to be attended by experts from Siemens.

Microsoft wins a legal battle
A U.S. court has granted Microsoft the permanent control of 276 Internet domains Waledac botnet used to send instructions to their computers compromised.
The victory began in February, when the judge accepted the nearly 300 domains off temporarily to decide who would control them. Microsoft says that since then Waledac activity has stalled.
Microsoft's request was risky because it had been identified by cybercriminals botnet, so the accused could not defend against the allegations, a very important duty to ensure that the legal process is fair .
Still, the judge ruled that Microsoft would be appropriate to make permanent the new owner of the domain, including pages . Com,. Net,. Biz and. Org.
But to win the war against Waledac, Microsoft should work with Internet providers and security groups to notify owners of the 58,000 compromised systems and help them get rid of the infection.
Microsoft does not believe that the defense issue any appeal, but says that criminals have already shown their displeasure as best they know how: by launching denial of service attacks to his legal team.
