I tend to get the feeling that its been traded for government's who don't want to say "we helped make that" ;)
There was an article the other day about a security firm that traces the creators of malware and they were sure they were about to uncover the author of Stuxnet.
They analyse code for patterns which people tend to repeat in their work.
