Speculation continues to rage about Stuxnet, now rumoured to have infected an English nuclear powerplant , though French owners EDF have denied it. But at least the estimable Rob Rosenberger shares my dislike of what he calls "this fetish for sexy computer news" in a recent SecurityCritics newsletter, and cites my recent blog at (ISC)2 as well as luminaries such as Bruce Schneier, Mary Landesman, and Chet Wisniewski.

In the meantime, the "Stuxnet under the microscope" white paper has been updated.today on the ESET white papers page: details follow.
