Stuxnet

Jeffrey Carr does not agree with many experts about the origin of the Stuxnet worm believing it to come from China and not a joint U.S.-Israel venture. He has repeatedly presented his opinion on his blog at Forbes. He believes it is China because China has the cyber capabilities to produce the Stuxnet worm.[16] India’s satellite program was also infected with the Stuxnet worm.[17] China has cyber attacked India in the past and is engaged in a space race with India. Also, the other countries infected the most were in Asia or Eurasia and produce key resources which China needs.[16]
