The Stuxnet virus reportedly created by the combined forces of the American and Israeli governments ravaged Iran's nuclear program between 2009 and 2010, destroying thousands of machines and effectively crippling the country's nuclear efforts.
But this wasn't enough for the attackers. They wanted to show what real power was like.
And so they made the facilities' hijacked work stations play AC/DC.
"There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out," wrote an Iranian scientist in an email. "I believe it was the American band AC-DC Thunderstruck. It was all very strange and happened very quickly."
"Thunderstruck" is a song from AC/DC's 1990 album, Razor's Edge.

They should play Justina Bieber, Gag gag, or some other pop shiite. That would set them off.

If we had a government worth a tinkers Damon Wed do more stuff like this. As the Joker said " People need a better class of criminal"
I would have put Merle Haggard or Buck Owens on the loop though. Maybe locked in old episodes of Make Room for Daddy or My Mother the Car on their screens

Probably a violation of the Geneva Convention...
