Richard Clarke on Who Was Behind the Stuxnet Attack | History & Archaeology | Smithsonian Magazine: “I think it’s pretty clear that the United States government did the Stuxnet attack,” he said calmly.
This is a fairly astonishing statement from someone in his position.
“Alone or with Israel?” I asked.
“I think there was some minor Israeli role in it. Israel might have provided a test bed, for example. But I think that the U.S. government did the attack and I think that the attack proved what I was saying in the book [which came out before the attack was known], which is that you can cause real devices—real hardware in the world, in real space, not cyberspace—to blow up.”
