Why not an Iranian that sees/believes his nation is wrong and has done something about it ?
The problem is that computer viruses don’t respect national boundaries, nor do they particularly care about the ideologies of computer owners. Are the infrastructure systems of Europe and America any better protected than the Mullahs’ systems? Let’s hope we don’t find out the hard way.
Incredible story. This may be the answers to our prayers. Those Israelis are nothing if not brilliant. To bring down the mullahs and dinner jacket with a USB plug??-—sheer genius. Long live the Israelis and their refusal to kow-tow to tyranny!
I remember when Reagan and Casey put “malware” in the Evil Empire’s oil and gas pipeline process control firmware. KABOOM!
good post.
Interesting article.
In one place the article reports 30,000 Iranian computers infected, and in another place it states 3000 computers infected. It would be good to know which number is the correct one.
I second that - somebody should do a book/movie on this.
And do not discount that NSA, DARPA, and others helped create Stuxnet in the first place. Also a great deal of US computer R & D takes place in Israel.
There is no need for the Eared One to have any knowledge of this program. There are items which are not revealed to a President simply because he is the President.
Particularly this one...
Are you saying that 1's and 0's are the same in any language? Wow! The power of mathematics!
The article combines fiction w/reality to make it believeable. Mostly it is fiction.
i had hoped the Israelis would neutralize the Iranian nuclear problem in an unconventional way. they don’t want to provoke a strike on their homeland. hope that is what is going on.
A few weeks back I read where the American military admitted that they had been the victim of a similar thumb drive cyber infection, which had the same devastating effect as the above article and the effects or damage lasted a few years.
If true and there were lessons learned, two years later meaning presently, the virus would be much improved, stronger and even more devastating.

It doesn't matter what you or I believe, it matters what the mullahs believe.
And if they have the slightest doubt-- or, better, the greatest fear-- that this worm could cause their reactors to blow up under them, I'm ok with that.
It's rather the whole point of it.
>>>”It doesn’t matter what you or I believe, it matters what the mullahs believe.”
Completely agree w/you. Unfortunately, “mullahs”, unlike most of us, know how to separate reality from fiction - in some instances, better than you or I, or the average person, regardless of country.
I don't disagree with your suggestion that there might be an intelligent mullah somewhere, but I'm going to go with the idea that they're paranoid and completely delusional-- based on the evidence I've seen-- and believe that the very idea that the Jew has infected their computers might cause them to forsake computers altogether.
If it wasn't such a dire situation, it would be hysterically funny.
lol, yep, would be good to see :)
