Iran has currently had an issue with worms that are infecting the computers that are used by engineers involved in their nuclear power facilities. This has been an issue for many of the countries located in this area. These other countries inclued Indonesia, Pakistan, and India. According to the article, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/26/world/middleeast/26iran.html?_r=1&hp, this is not something that can be produced by independent hackers, but rather a state. This may create big issues if this hypothesis is correct and Iran eventually has to go to war with another power. There have been reports that over 30,ooo computers have already been infected by the bug.
