Symantec: 18% in Indonesia Infected Computer Stuxnet

WASHINGTON - The virus is predicted to sabotage Stuxnet created by a group of hackers who get funds from prosperous powerful nation, or a company that has a lot of money.
Despite much speculation that states that the virus targeted sabotage Iran's nuclear project, but the Symantec and the U.S. government claimed to have found evidence if the targets are true.
But once the Symantec predicted to
create malicious code that takes approximately five to 10 people hackers who have higher education, has been trained well and paid fairly large. Unfortunately the U.S. government and analysts have not been able to show where the virus originated.
Today malware is predicted to have infected approximately 45,000 computers around the world system. Siemens AG, a company that designs systems to target the virus, said that if Stuxnet has infected 15 power plant control systems, including water filtration systems, oil drilling, electricity and nuclear power.
"Approximately 60 percent of computers already infected with Stuxnet are in Iran. While 18 percent of the other computers are in Indonesia. Only two percent of U.S. computers are infected," said Liam O Murchu, Operations Manager of Security Response Symantec Corp, as quoted by the Associated Press, Monday (9/27/2010).
According to Symantec, a number of countries with high computer skills have the ability to create code like that. Country in question is China, Russia, Israel, Britain, Germany and the United States. O Murchu unfortunately can not designate a definite state.
Earlier, a German computer scientist Ralph Langner claimed to have discovered a computer virus that spreads via USB. The virus can identify public facilities that are considered dangerous to then control and destroy it remotely.
