Mr. Obama decided to accelerate the attacks — begun in the Bush administration and code-named Olympic Games — even after an element of the program accidentally became public in the summer of 2010 because of a programming error that allowed it to escape Iran’s Natanz plant and sent it around the world on the Internet. Computer security experts who began studying the worm, which had been developed by the United States and Israel, gave it a name: Stuxnet.
At a tense meeting in the White House Situation Room within days of the worm’s “escape,” Mr. Obama, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency at the time, Leon E. Panetta, considered whether America’s most ambitious attempt to slow the progress of Iran’s nuclear efforts had been fatally compromised.
Không biết việc một số chuyên gia “được phép” tiết lộ vụ này ra có phải do kỳ tranh cử sắp tới, Obama cần thêm một việc (ngoài việc giết Bin Laden) minh chứng rằng ông ta có những chiến lược mạnh mẽ nhằm bảo an quốc gia — điều mà bọn Cộng Hoà thường dùng làm quân cờ chính.
Bây giờ chờ thêm Flame là của ai, có vẻ như có liên quan đến Stuxnet.
Quay lại với Stuxnet, rất gần với Skynet:
An error in the code, they said, had led it to spread to an engineer’s computer when it was hooked up to the centrifuges. When the engineer left Natanz and connected the computer to the Internet, the American- and Israeli-made bug failed to recognize that its environment had changed. It began replicating itself all around the world. Suddenly, the code was exposed, though its intent would not be clear, at least to ordinary computer users.
