This is interesting because it is much less subtle than stuxnet. One of the core features of stuxnet was that it broke centrifuges in a way that looked like (I think) manufacturering faults. That's why it went on so long and did so much damage: no one thought to look for it. It even faked logs I believe.
This incident seems to be the opposite: a big one day event timed to make a splash and be quite obvious...
