After the first couple of sentences I came to the opposite conclusion: perhaps the greatest nuclear powers have all had their launch systems compromised already, and if people started pushing buttons nothing would happen. Comforting thought.

While a nice thought, that is only true if:

a) at least two of these secret security teams exist, funded by different political superpowers

b) the one team behind this worm was funded by a group insisting on global denuclearization.

Imagine if what you say is true for every nuclear power, except one (likely the one that is behind this worm).

Have we heard of any other enrichment facilities that have been targeted? There are still a ton out there[0].
