Compromising the security?
Well, that's something, I suppose.
But the Stuxnet virus shut down as many as 1000 centrifuges in Iran. If this is retaliation, it's the equivalent of 40 lashes with a wet noodle.
Also, one wonders: why would the military make this public? Are they "shaking the tree," i.e., trying to smoke someone out?
PS: Cool video on Stuxnet.
