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.

2Cellos are fantastic. Well worth looking up their other songs on YouTube.

That’s good. So many appropriate songs for an assault on (in)sanity. So little time.
...and on this farm he had a pig, E-I-E-I-Oh.

I can think of a number of songs that would have been funny in such a setting:Most obvious choice to me: Crazy World of Arthur Brown Fire

They should have played either Highway to Hell or Running With the Devil.

LOL. I gotta think even ASCAP will take a pass on trying to get royalties from that!

I kinda dimly remember something like that. But it would have been appropriate.
