Stuxnet Virus vs. Mis-educative

The Stuxnet virus is a computer virus created by the CIA that was used to shut down Iran's nuclear program. The computer virus spreads from device to device until it gains access to a set of specific servers that control Iran's nuclear facilities. Once the virus finds its intended server, it begins to corrupt the computer until it is unusable.

I thought of this when I came across the term mis-educative in our reading which means to "educate improperly". With the growing popularity of the Internet it seems like incorrect information spreads like the Stuxnet virus until it gets into the minds of those reading it. Then it begins to take hold in the brain and cause all kinds of havoc with mis-information.
