This is funny and sort of related to our class. As part of their what could possibly go wrong series, Popular Science discussed sabotage of computer systems involved in nuclear power plants. It is suspected that a U.S.-led Israeli lab set a virus on some of Iran's nuclear research centers. I can see why you would want to stop them from doing nuclear research, but if you break the safety systems the whole plant could turn into a nuclear bomb. Which would probably be bad.
