Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stuxnet worm specifically targeted nuclear facilities, particularly those in Iran, and was designed to disrupt the operations of the centrifuges used to enrich uranium. It was not a simplistic worm and was designed to be stealthy and avoid detection. It is believed to have taken several months, if not years, to develop. The worm did spread beyond Iran but its main target was the nuclear program in that country.
