    Quora[^]:

    The most sophisticated software in history was written by a team of people whose names we do not know.

    It even knows which spoon to use for the salad course

    Yes, it's an answer on Quora, but he put a bit of work into it

        What the article doesn't mention: We might not know the names of the people who have written it, but what we do know is the obvious purpose of this piece of software, and so it's pretty easy to make an educated guess about its origin: Since it was targeting centrifuges for purifying uranium in Iran, it has to be some military or intelligence (or both) organization within the USA. I mean, their interests are quite clear if you look at their geopolitical and geostratgic decisions (or escalations) in the past about twenty years. And they surely have the kind of unlimited resources (in money etc.) to plan and develop such a thing. So changes are pretty high that the name of the author is either NSA or CIA.
