Stuxnet Redux

Today, I came across a story that got me to thinking about what we learned this past summer.  It was Stuxnet. In the article, a sophisticated virus was released through Siemens products.  The new story spoke of a virus that the military is having a hard time removing.  Unlike in the Stuxnet article, this virus was attacking and infiltrating the system that operate the predator and reaper drones that are in Afghanistan.  We learned that Stuxnet attacked Iran's nuclear plants.  The military is not sure if the attack was intentional or an accident.  They are also saying that nothing classified was released.  Could this be retaliation from Iran or could this attack be from Anonymous?  I'll let you decide.
