520    "Top cybersecurity journalist Kim Zetter tells the story 
       behind the virus that sabotaged Iran's nuclear efforts and
       shows how its existence has ushered in a new age of 
       warfare--one in which a digital attack can have the same 
       destructive capability as a megaton bomb. In January 2010,
       inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency 
       noticed that centrifuges at an Iranian uranium enrichment 
       plant were failing at an unprecedented rate. The cause was
       a complete mystery--apparently as much to the technicians 
       replacing the centrifuges as to the inspectors observing 
       them. Then, five months later, a seemingly unrelated event
       occurred : A computer security firm in Belarus was called 
       in to troubleshoot some computers in Iran that were 
       crashing and rebooting repeatedly. At first, the firm's 
       programmers believed the malicious code on the machines 
       was a simple, routine piece of malware

       destructive capability as a megaton bomb dropped from an 
       airplane"--|cProvided by publisher
