Stuxnet worm....
The Stuxnex worm targets PLC control systems made by Siemens that are commonly used to manage gas pipelines, drilling rigs, power plants and other industrial facilities.

Could have the Stuxnex worm caused the California pipeline explosion?

No, the explosion was cause by the pipe failing due to age and corrosion .

There's a lot of speculation on the source of Stuxnet, but not a lot of hard facts.
The predominant theory is that it's directed at Iran. Further speculation is that it's being done by some group in Israel or the US, possibly government affiliated.
