Iran boasted last week that its malware fighters fended off another attack on its infrastructure by the notorious Stuxnet computer worm. Stuxnet targeted a power plant and some other industries in the southern part of the country, but Iranian computer experts were able to thwart the attack, a provincial civil defense official claimed.

Iran did not say who was behind the latest Stuxnet attack, but it’s been documented that the United States and Israel were behind the first attack.
