This was not your run-of-the-mill worm. Your teacher's antivirus would not have seen anything, that's whata 0-day attack does. It is called that because 0 days have transcured since the attack has been discovered by security companues and therefore no countermesure to that attack exists yet. And the method used was to inject this worm in as many normal computers in the world as possible so that everytime a technician would break the air gap to import some code he would have more and more chance to be using a pen drive that would have been previously inserted in an infected computer. I don't remember the exact number but when Stuxnet was first reported on it had infected an astonishing number of computers worldwide, something like 20 percent.

The interesting thing is that the guy who likely planted it. Who was a dutch engineer , died in a one sided motor accident a few years later in Dubai. He was likely recruited by Dutch intellegence services. Who handed him over to the israeli and US services. The strange thing is that most of Dutch officers who were actively involved by recruiting him had no idea that this happened. The whole operation was so fractured that people only know about their small part. Which makes it impossible for most people to actually know what was giong on.
