OK it worked twice, once in 1982 in Russia then Stuxnet in Iran. I knew about both of those. Any other examples? I mean this Trojan is alleged to be infecting control software for “industrial operations like oil and gas pipelines, power transmission grids, water distribution and filtration systems, wind turbines and even some nuclear plants” since 2011 all over in NATO Europe and the USA.

I believe its worked more than once on Iran.

That’s the problem with people. They think just because it has never happened it can’t and here is something that has happened and some still don’t believe it can’t. I am not saying that this particular Trojan can, but give time someone will, can and has come up with something.

If I would have told you say in 1999 that terrorist would bring down both towers of the World Trade Center for the cost of some flying lessons, some one way tickets and some box knifes you would have looked at me like I was wearing a tin foil hat.

Terrorist are the masters of the cheap sucker punch.

Can you imagine what the Pentagon budge would have been and the manpower involve if they had planned a operation like 9/11?
