The worm itself now appears to have included two major components.
One was designed to send Iran's nuclear centrifuges spinning wildly
out of control.
Another seems out of the movies: the computer program also secretly
recorded what operations at the nuclear plant looked like, then
played those readings back to plant operators so that it would appear
that everything was operating normally while the centrifuges were
actually tearing themselves apart.

sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
