On Dec. 13th, 2011, Shaun Waterman wrote for the Washington Times on the reported cyberattack plot against US nuclear plants. Again, the basic idea being that the Iranians and Venezuelans may have coordinated a cyberattack plot with the help of a Venezuelan diplomat (who is currently in the US right now).
This article has much the same information, but adds a few more twists. I previously mentioned that all of this information came out through a Univision documentary. According to the article, the documentary actually provided footage of Iranian and Venezuelan diplomats receiving briefings on the planned attacks. It gets better. The Cuban government recruited a Mexican computer instructor to organize the group of hackers.
State Department is still investigating.
