*I hope we all live long enough to read the memoirs of one of these state-malware programmers. Maybe they’ll come out of the cold once Israel ceases to exist in a searing Iranian regional holocaust.

–Duqu and Stuxnet Developed by the Same Team, Say Kaspersky Analysts
(December 29, 2011)
New research from Kaspersky Labs suggests that Stuxnet and Duqu malware
were likely developed by the same team and may date back to 2007.
Researchers are calling the common malware platform on which the two,
and possibly others, were created as “Tilded” because many of the file
names start with “~d.” Stuxnet made its way into the public eye in June
2010, when it was detected on equipment that was part of Iran’s nuclear
program. Duqu was detected in September 2011 and appears to be tailored
to steal industrial control design documents.
