I found this very interesting.
"First weaponized computer virus"
The part where it keeps getting out despite heavy security reminds me of Marathon 2.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

That was extremely fascinating. And also scary considering how unbelievably smart the person(s) that made the worm was and how much info they had.

*NOTE*
Hackers don't do anything, they just break into secure networks for a challenge.

'Hackers' who break into secure networks to steal or destroy information are called 'Crackers' and they're the bad ones. Hackers are not bad, and are actually beneficial to security, as they can test an agency's security measures for them.

Well, I'm not sure whether or not writing a weaponized virus to shut down a nuclear program even counts as cracking, but if it does, in this case the "bad ones" are the good guys.
