According to the security company, the virus is designed to target a German-made program often used in systems managing water, gas and oil pipelines. The program is used at public utilities around the world, including in Japan.
WhatReallyHappened's Commentary:
Here is a nightmare scenario for you. 1. Israel and the US create Stuxnet.
2. Stuxnet is deployed to wreck Iran's nuclear power station.
3. But Stuxnet escapes from its intended target and spreads across Asia!
4. As the above article documents, Stuxnet was in Japan last October, presumably still spreading and intended to wreck nuclear power plants.
5. Stuxnet targets the Siemens controller
6. Fukushima uses the Seimens controllers Stuxnet was designed interfere with!
So now the difficulty the Fukushima nuclear plant operators faced in recovering control over their runaway reactors takes on a darker significance. Remember that the first problem following the quake was that the automated shutdown systems failed to operate at some of the reactors, because pumps failed and valves would not open even while running on batteries; the very sorts of mischief Stuxnet supposedly was designed to cause at Iran's power station.
Did we all just get hacked to death by Israel?
Would anyone reading this in Japan please forward to the Fukushima managers.

Interesting if true. Can anyone substantiate that the Japanese Nuclear Reactor used that software?......Urban legends are amusing, but not truth.

I haven't seen it confirmed that it has been infected. And would they say if it were so anyway? The virus has been found in nearby China and with its ease of transmission through USB sticks I can see it making its way to Japan easily. I have heard that Seimens technology was used in that system as it is quite ubiquitous generally in all sorts of utilities.
