Computer systems at Iran’s nuclear facilities were attacked recently by a new worm that forced some workstations to randomly play the heavy metal rock song Thunderstruck, U.S. officials said.

The computer attack followed several U.S.- and Israeli-origin virtual strikes on Iran’s illicit nuclear program that involved the insertion of malicious software into Iranian industrial control networks. Those attacks were carried out under the code names Stuxnet and Flame.

The latest attack took place about a week ago and was discovered after an Iranian scientist revealed it in emails sent to a Finnish computer security expert asking for assistance in countering the malicious software attack.

The senior security specialist at the Finnish computer security company F-Secure, Mikko Hypponen, wrote on a blog post that he received several emails beginning July 21 from the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, which is in charge of Iran’s nuclear program.

The Iranian scientist stated that the nuclear program was “compromised” from an attack by a new worm or hacker software called Metasploit.

Thunderstruck? The entire rock universe to pick from and they chose that? Pathetic.

[ClearCase_guy]

That’s not all. We have a little something up our sleeve which will play “Muskrat Love”.

If they had asked Dave Mustaine, he probably would have recorded something special for them.

Cyber attacks will delay it, but will bombs stop it?

[Nachum]

An excellent choice. There are a number of Metallica works that would fit the bill here.

Master of Puppets

Heck, you could have played their entire live show from Moscow in 1991:

I like Dave Mustaine because he's a hard rock solid conservative with a seething hatred of the UN.

[M1903A1]

If these were the Israelis, naah...you gotta REALLY insult them...

“Hava Nagilah”

[Born to Conserve]

Heavy Metal = gay.

They dress like gays on stage, and the audience is 95% male.
