> New Dirt on the Stuxnet Worm & Cyber War
> 
> We go inside the Stuxnet worm cyber-attack on Iran's nuclear push,

> For years now we've been warned of cyber-war. Digital warfare.

> Times reports that the United States and Israel worked together to 
> launch the "Stuxnet" worm against Iran's nuclear program. That

> nearly a thousand nuclear centrifuges to tear themselves to pieces, 
> setting Tehran's ambitions back by years.
> 
> This hour On Point: the Stuxnet worm, and the path of cyber warfare.
