I've seen the theory that Stuxnet/Duqu was developed by a state thrown around a lot, but what's the actual evidence? It's not particularly hard to write a simple programming language. Worms are very specialized pieces of code. It doesn't seem that crazy that someone would create a language tailored for worm development.

Considering the facts that are known (e.g.: http://www.digitalbond.com/2012/01/31/langners-stuxnet-deep-dive-s4-video/ http://www.digitalbond.com/2012/01/31/langners-stuxnet-deep-...) it is nigh impossible for Stuxnet to be commissioned by a nongovernmental entity. The sheer complexity is off the charts. Stuxnet's sophistication and complexity is an cybernetic equivalent of Manhattan project. E.g.: As a domain expert on industrial automation of this kind Langners states that whoever created Stuxnet _had to have a testing facility_. How many hackers do you know who build uranium enrichment centrifuges to test their cyber attack tools? Yeah thought so. Edit: TL;DR: There are two pieces of evidence. No.1: Motive, No.2: Sophistication and complexity.
