Iran says Stuxnet virus infected 16,000 computers

This is old news. Stuxnet was on a lot more computers world-wide, but was specifically programmed to affect a certain type of Siemens PLCs. The ones used for the centrifuges.

old men in dresses run iran

Un like all the experts I don't know who created the virus but it is without a doubt the highest form of warfare we have seen to date. What's next?

One of the better ways to slow progress down in Iran. I normally multiply by at least 5 to the damage done when it is reported from Iran. Things are going to really deteriorate quickly now as the sanctions in the banking sector squeeze more and more money out of Iran. This next few months is going to be interesting to say the least.

Use Linux, problem solved.

The virus that the Iranians have to worry about is the one that they do not know about.

Yeah, my credit card company had a problem too.

Must be that Infidel Spyware again.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Supreme ruler are the dark side of the evil force that plagues mankind.

Iran learned the lesson: Never use Microsoft crap.

They should buy the software from Israel (with Stuxnet in the box)

You'd have to tailor the virus to take out how similar of a system....because we pretty much know all the parts that make them their version of a computer,and where the parts that weren't home engineered came from..even the home engineered stuff we know..I swear if they get themselves a bomb they're either gonna put their eye out or blow themselves up....either way they're not responsible enough to own this stuff.....Both the U.S and Russia have had accidents with their reactors...and Japan's got #$%$up from the Tsunami......so.....why else would you want the tech if you WEREN'T trying to build a bomb?? For the privilege of goofing up your environment like 3 Mile Island or Chernobyl ?? C'mon!!!............Besides...as soon as the Iranian people figure out how much they've been being schitt on by a theocracy and how much they're missing out on DEMOCRACY it'll be the end of the Ayetolla and Ahmadinejad and the beginning of true representative democracy in Iran.....so there........

so Iran is become more self reliant and efficient because of the sanctions. the west is also becoming more efficient with alternative energy because of the high prices of oil because of Iran. Sounds like a win - win situation to me. we should have done this years ago.

I wish all wars are fought with stuxnet like software!

up until last month iran could of got the malware protection from mega upload, now they have to develop it them selfs hahahahaha

You don't say,you DO say!

Oh, an electronic STD.

Phew, thought the we were going to get blame for this one. Home land should hire hackers. Then again they did.

No worries. We have no secrets left. Everyone has our number. The lowest ranked and lowest paid people in our government can hand our stuff out like free popcorn.

Here is a list of what Iran is in first place

This is only a short list:

-Stoning women to death
-Hanging Gays
-Executing Baha'i
-Guards raping women prisoners sentenced to death
-Torture maiming prisoners for life as standard interrogating procedure (not kids play waterboarding)
-Clubbing peaceful demonstrators
-Inventing that they are making annual scientific inventions that amount to more than the rest of the world combined
-Too incompetent to control Stuxnet and Duqu viruses that permanently disabled the nuclear program
-Running into the ground the economy of a country with the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world
-Having average income per capita of one third of what it was 33 years ago
-Hosting the largest government bureaucracy in the world relative to population size
-Corruption all the way to the highest level of Guardian Council
-Number of holy Ayatollahs with multiple wives
-Number of holy Ayatollahs becoming $billionaires who were dirt poor 20 years ago, have never run a business in their lifetime and never will
-Number of drug addicts roaming aimlessly in the streets
-Constantly reducing the amount of gasoline produced in the country
-Photoshopping imaginary military accomplishments
-Losing one million people in an 8 year war
-Sending tens of thousands of poor children to be blown up by mines in the same war, and as a reward putting on their little necks plastic keys to Paradise
-Denying Kurds, Baluchis, Azeris and Khuzestan their unalienable right to secession and forming independent countries while shamelessly/hypocritically demanding that Israel allow it

The long list doesn't fit in this post.
