Stuxnet: Anatomy of a Computer Virus is a short video made by motion graphic designer Patrick Clair for an Australian TV show. The captivating clip tells the story of one of the 50 most deadly computer viruses of all time and how it was used as "an open-sourced weapon" aimed at bringing down Iranian nuclear power pants. The most chilling part is the open ending: Stuxnet is probably just getting started.
