An article appearing on the Telegraph website (No author credit listed).
This article discusses the Duqu virus and Microsoft's concern regarding this new exploit. Duqu was used to disrupt the computer programs behind Iran's Nuclear Development efforts.
The article states, "Whoever was behind Duqu was able to “install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights", Microsoft said.
It has also shared technical details with anti-virus firms."
The article further states, "“Duqu's purpose is to gather intelligence data and assets from entities, such as industrial control system manufacturers, in order to more easily conduct a future attack against another third party,” Symantec said.
Similarities between Duqu and Stuxnet have led to claims they must have been created by the same state-sponsored entity. Israeli and American intelligence agencies are widely belive to be behind the attack on the Iranian nuclear program."
