Computer Virus Cripples Iran Nuclear Program

[JWV]

This is a very interesting read. Shows just how powerful we...I mean some sort of Western intelligence agency(s) are compared to a country like Iran. Enjoy!!!

That's very old news. I posted something about that last summer.

It was going around but it would immediate de-activate if an attached piece of equipment did not match a certain spec, in other words it was specifically LOOKING for Iran.

Iran stated in September last year that they had some "heating" issues to resolve.

I bet they did..

FYI even though I've worked on DOD informations security for years now, going back to school in 3 weeks for the big certification and a degree on it. Woot I'm stoked.

I bet we'll be studying this.

"Heating" issues in an Iranian nuclear plant

...that has a nice ring to it

Such an old story that there are updates. Iran put their top computer dude on the case. He was assassinated a week or so ago, and Iran is blaming Israel (the likely creator of the virus).

Sorry about posting an old story. Didn't realize it. FOX needs to get on the ball as they posted this story only a week ago.
