Iran's nuclear agency is trying to combat a complex computer worm that has affected industrial sites throughout the country and is capable of taking over power plants, Iranian media reports said.
Experts from the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran met this week to discuss how to remove the malicious computer code, or worm, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported Friday.
The computer worm, dubbed Stuxnet, can take over systems that control the inner workings of industrial plants. Experts in Germany discovered the worm in July, and it has since shown up in a number of attacks — primarily in Iran, Indonesia, India and the U.S.
The ISNA report said the malware had spread throughout Iran, but did not name specific sites affected. Foreign media reports have speculated the worm was aimed at disrupting Iran's first nuclear power plant, which is to go online in October in the southern port city of Bushehr.
Iranian newspapers have reported on the computer worm hitting industries around the country in recent weeks, without giving details. Friday's report also did not mention Bushehr.
The Russian-built plant will be internationally supervised, but world powers remain concerned that Iran wants to use its civil nuclear power program as a cover for making weapons.

Heh, heh.
It seems to be the same worm that has been infecting computers everywhere, including the US:

Don’t the Israelis have some hacker genius on ice over there? Maybe he’s earning himself a pardon and a new identity.
*hmph* Spoilsports.
It was in the DVD Jewish girls Gone Wild.
Oh yes! The “George W. Bush” Worm!
some problems with this report.
worm targets Siemens systems.. Iran is not using “authorized” Siemens systems.
speculation was that it was going after Iran’s program, also speculation that it had already hit its target. debate was also over whether it was the commercial reactor or a different clandestine location... reports of major incident there a while back..
Iran could be lying... if it’s telling truth there’s some other problems with what this admits..

America! It's about
How does one infect an isolated system?

Or the political opposition.
speculation is the infection came through a lax russian vendor..
