Looks like the Mad Mullahs got their Thanskgiving card early this year!

[UCANSEE2]

Wait ‘til they see their Christmas Present!

[Mr. K]

This is too funny

as a software enigneere it is nice to see something good done with computer viruses

[xkaydet65]

Damn clever those Israelis.

[Vinnie]

You’d think they could boot up in safe mode and do a system restore. :)

[Bryanw92]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Keep up the good work, Stuxnet!

[NonValueAdded]

Let's hope it can differentiate friend from foe.
♫ We don't need another Skynet ... ♫

[Army Air Corps]

That is not a feature of the Jihad2000 operating system. Your only choices are “Detonate, Retry, or Fail.”

[kromike]

Damn clever those Israelis.

Agreed, but I'm wondering why it's taking Obamolester so long to publicly point the finger at them and then apologize profusely to Dinner-Jacket for the U.S. in being so evil for supporting Israel during the Booooooooooooooooooooooosh years.

[dselig]

We should try it on North Korea.

[battlecry]

Bet you they will do a WikiLeak on it next...

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Run into a dead end?

Does that mean there are no more processors to infect?

[xkaydet65]

He was waiting for the DEBKA report . Now he has evidnce,yes it’s DEBKA but so what, that Israel is behind the worm. I expect condemnation of Israel in 3,2,1...

[Dubh_Ghlase]

God bless and strengthen Israel! May all they put their hands to prosper, and their enemies become the trash-heaps of history!

[garjog]

“Damn clever those Israelis.”

OK, so even Freepers know the worm is an attack on Iran's nuclear program.

Question: isn't a cyber attack on this scale an act of war?

What if the Iranians did that to our military computers?

Wouldn't it justify an attack?

[agere_contra]

"Fortunately the nuclear Stuxnet virus has faced a dead end"

LOL, but the Stuxnet virus that takes over the radar outside the base is still a goer.

My money is on Stuxnet suppressing Iranian nuclear ambitions for decades.

[agere_contra]

In a world where bombarding an South Korean island isn’t an act of war, a fully deniable attack with a virus isn’t even on the radar.

[xkaydet65]

China’s already experimented with hacking our computers. As for Israel, I don’t want to say rules dont apply. BUt for a state the size of New Jersey that half the world iS bent on killing, there’s only one rule. DON’T LOSE!!!
