{But the USA does the same thing. I am thinking of the USA's recent, successful, cyber attack on the Iran nuclear facility.}

Yes, I was going to make the same observation in my last post but I left it to "a Country's infrastructure..." instead. As you know in your referenced posting the Stuxnet cyber-attack was the worm that did the trick on the centrifuges. Stuxnet, among other variants was mentioned in one of the original articles you posted, or perhaps the Symantec overview I posted. The US and Israel were, and I suppose still are, being accused of introducing that piece of work into Iran's enrichment facilities via a high level employee's laptop.

As you imply everything is pure speculation at this point except that the Google Cache indicates that Capstone was infected sometime in September (just about the same time more serious flaws were discovered in Java ) and remained on their system despite being informed about it. Who the heck knows about these things, i.e. layers upon layers of subterfuge, misdirection, etc. in order to cloak the real intent..
