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.

Jerry Van Dyke! Charlton Heston and Lawrence Olivier were jealous when he came on scene...now there was an actor for ya!

[jimpick]

How about that country song that goes “You can take this job and shove it I ain't working here no more”? That would have been funny as hell.

[Slings and Arrows]

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap would have been a better choice, IMO.

Considering that it's Iran, this variant would be more appropriate.

This version is more appropriate:

That one is the best... good to see it’s now up to 22,000,000 views.

[Slings and Arrows]

Truly - I remember when it was below 1,000,000.

[USMCPOP]

I can think of a number of songs that would have been funny in such a setting:

Neil Diamond - Coming To America

Hendrix - Purple Haze

Village People - YMCA

Zappa - Billy the Mountain

Old McDonald Had a Farm

What, no “Highway to Hell”?

[tanknetter]

Yup, Tony Stark in action.

Although the scene in The Avengers where he hijacks the Quinjet’s PA system to blast AC/DC at Loki was much cooler.

[Mr. K]

‘Highway to Hell’ would have been more appropriate

You shook me all niiiiite loonnnngggggg

Yeah, you

[dfwgator]

Rock the Casbah - The Clash (Drop your bombs between the minarets!)

[Beagle8U]

‘Highway to hell’ would have been the obvious choice for them.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

HA.... bagpipes with rock and roll....ROFL!

[Beagle8U]

This one would have drove them nuts...lol
