Could this be Stuxnet's cousin? I wonder what government wanted IMF inside info? Israel? Thoughts, opinions?

Warhead? This is nothing like Stuxnet. The former was designed to physically destroy Iran's refinement machinery and forcibly obstruct their use of nuclear technology. In doing so it achieved the same ends as bombing those facilities would. To contrast, this IMF hack sounds like it was designed for information gathering. Eavesdropping. Straightforward espionage, which is nothing new.

But calling it a warhead makes it more dramatic :D

I think it is interesting that this hacking took place so close in time to Dominique Strauss-Kahn being accused of sexual assault. I wonder if the events are linked...
