A computer belonging to a customer in Iran was caught in a reboot loop — shutting down and restarting repeatedly despite efforts by operators to take control of it. It appeared the machine was infected with a virus.&quot;&lt;p&gt;I am curious as to what in Stuxnet code and/or the client computer caused this. From the rest of the article, Stuxnet went to great lengths to stay undetected. Anyone has clues ?</text></comment>
