US, Israel Used Dutch Spy to Launch Stuxnet Malware Against Iran

The report summarizes findings that the Stuxnet worm—deployed in 2008 against Iran's Natanz nuclear facility—was likely installed by a Dutch operative working as an engineer; the malware damaged centrifuges and set back the program for years. Journalists estimate the malware cost $1 billion to develop and suggest the payload was concealed in equipment (a water pump); the alleged installer died in a motorcycle accident shortly after the operation.
