Computer super-virus 'targeted Iranian nuclear power station' but who made it?

The Bushehr nuclear plant may have been the target for the cyber attack, experts believe.

Mr Langer says that the sophistication of the virus means that only a ‘nation state’ could have developed it.

He wrote: 'With the forensics we now have it is evident and provable that Stuxnet is a directed sabotage attack involving heavy insider knowledge.

'This is not some hacker sitting in the basement of his parents' house. To me, it seems that the resources needed to stage this attack point to a nation state.' Mr Langer also believes that Stuxnet virus has already hit its target - we just haven't heard about it yet.

Obviously a Zionist conspiracy! 8^P

And why is SIEMENS allowed to do business with a madman who wants to erase Israel.

One of the antivirus companies had a chart showing Stuxnet infections by country. At one point, it was about 60% Iranian, but now it’s more prevalent in India.

Unfortunately, weaponized computer viruses may be too much like real viruses. Once you get them in the wild, they will infect anyone who isn’t immune.

To get the job done, that they didn’t finish during WWll?

Bushehr’s FAULT!...............

It’s gonna be b$#$*(&^ once someone turns it against us though. Apparently it just fries everything

Too bad they couldn’t Chernobyl the darn thing. The thought of Iran being blanked in nuclear fallout from their own stinking reactor is one of the happiest ones I have ever had.

This is one Zionist conspiracy theory I can get behind! A million Russians immigrated and thousands of them are genius level techies. This is why Intel has research and a fab there. Tons of geniuses these aside from the Russians

[Red Badger]

I have a feeling the CIA had a little to do with this..............

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Doesn’t it just warm the cockles of your heart?

Me, too. I get the impression it “went off” too early, and merely set the Iranians back several months, instead of turning the plant into madmax territory.

I had something different in mind. It may yet exist.
"I can't help but think that the Russians set the Iranians up."
Either way...Never trust Russian contractors!

Talking about Mad Max did you see that video of the crazy Russian girl riding a motorcycle through the abandoned ruins of town outside the Chernobyl plant. She had a Geiger counter and I was surprised what was showing up as "Hot" and what had returned to safe. Basically it was metal that was outside and exposed. Hundreds of acres of farmland that was relatively safe, but one chunk of rusty chain link fence could be deadly. A quarter of a century later and that place is still seriously messed up.

“did you see that video of the crazy Russian girl riding a motorcycle through the abandoned ruins of town outside the Chernobyl plant.”

I have. There’s an interesting website, as well. Very surreal.

I thought the links above were some of the most interesting things I have ever seen on the internet.

I never saw any video. You got a link? Please?
