BEIJING: A computer virus dubbed the world’s “first cyber superweapon” by experts and which may have been designed to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities has found a new target – China.
The Stuxnet computer worm has wreaked havoc in China, infecting millions of computers around the country, state media reported this week...
“This malware is specially designed to sabotage plants and damage industrial systems, instead of stealing personal data,” an engineer surnamed Wang at antivirus service provider Rising International Software told the Global Times.
“Once Stuxnet successfully penetrates factory computers in China, those industries may collapse, which would damage China’s national security,” he added.

Iran says Bushehr nuclear plant not damaged by Stuxnet
And if they were ,Iran would still deny it !
If the Stuxnet Malware has affected the Nuclear power plants Computer systems at all , We will know in a few weeks when and if it goes online !
(Reuters) - A computer virus that experts said may have been created by a state did not affect Iran's nuclear plant or government systems, but did hit computers of staff at the plant and Internet providers, officials said on Sunday.
A senior official at U.S. technology company Symantec told Reuters on Friday that 60 percent of the computers worldwide infected by the so-called Stuxnet worm were in Iran, prompting speculation that the nuclear power plant may have been targeted in an attempt at sabotage or espionage.
Some Western cyber security companies suggested the attack could only have been conducted "with nation-state support," indicating industrial plants in the Islamic state were the target.
The head of the Bushehr nuclear power plant said the virus had only affected personal computers of staff.
"A team is inspecting several computers to remove the malware ... major systems of the plant have not been damaged," Mahmoud Jafari told the official IRNA news agency.

Botnet hacker caught in Slovenia
The Herders Herder At 23 ?
12.7 Million PC'S infected by this Malware were stealing Financial information , there are many more out there doing the same thing .
It will be interesting to see what kind of sentence this guy gets .
BBC
A computer hacker known as Iserdo has been arrested in Slovenia.
The 23-year-old is believed to have written the programme behind the mariposa virus, also known as butterfly.
The botnet, one of the world's largest, was dismantled earlier this year after infecting 12.7 million computers.
It was designed to steal personal financial details and was also found in the PCs of banks and major companies.
Officials from around the world have been working together to capture the criminals behind the massive malware operation.
In December 2009 three people believed to have been running it were arrested in Spain.
"To use an analogy here, as opposed to arresting the guy who broke into your home, we've arrested the guy that gave him the crowbar, the map and the best houses in the neighbourhood," Jeffrey Troy, deputy assistant director for the FBI cyber division told Associated Press.

Computer security firm Symantec announced on Monday that Shaoxing, China was malware capital of the world last month.
That’s just one of the takeaways in the company’s March 2010 MessageLabs Intelligence Report, an analysis of the origins of targeted attacks and malicious emails used to gain access to sensitive corporate data.
According to the company’s research, nearly 30 percent of targeted malware attacks came from China — with 21.3 percent from Shaoxing alone. Runner-up to the crown was Taipei, at 16.5 percent, with London taking the bronze at 14.8 percent.
On a national scale, China trumped all, followed by Romania, with 21.1 percent of attempted attacks, and the United States, with 13.8 percent.
