Iran Nuclear Facilities Hacked, Stations Made To Play AC/DC

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.

Should have been “Highway to Hell.” First they hear it; then they receive it.
