I thought that the US was not only the founder of cyber war fare but far and away the leader in it.

Stuxnet was Israeli, from what I understood.

That said, I'm pretty sure that if it's anywhere, it's hidden in the NSA or CIA instead, and that they're pretty damn good.

It can take one brilliant person to bild Stuxnet.

There's strong indications that Stuxnet was built by a team of developers, though.
