Wild Bill Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Here's the link: http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2012/07/irans-nuclear-program-has-been-thunderstruck-by-malware-again.html "Now it seems that a new malware infection is running rampant in certain Iranian computer labs. Reports sent to F-Secure’s Mikko Hypponen over the weekend from the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran indicate that its network of computers had again been compromised by malware. This time, however, there’s a twist. It appears someone involved in the creation of this new malicious code is a bit of an AC/DC fan. In the wee hours of the night, several of the infected computers started blasting out Thunderstruck at full volume." The fact that such a powerful virus has once again hit the Iranian nuclear bomb program is fascinating in itself but the sheer gall to inject such a touch of humour by making the Iranians listen to the Young brothers on 10 just makes me cry out in glee! And the choice of songs - Thunderstruck! I'm not just a techie. I'm also an old hippy from the Woodstock years! My generation stopped the Viet Nam war. We brought down a corrupt president. With rock and roll and blue jeans we toppled the Berlin Wall. Now another generation is trying to stop nuclear escalation at the hands of religious fundamentalist fanatical barbarians. My faith in Mankind has been restored! I had thought to put this in the technology forum but there are far too many political ramifications for that arena. We don't need to discuss the technology - its a given! The politics however lead to a myriad of possibilities.

Anyone who disagrees with your POV must be stupid! Yet of course, it's not the left that's prone to ad hominem attacks! This is why I have so few friends on the left. I have some but they certainly don't take this arrogant attitude! You sound like Rush Limbaugh!

GostHacked Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Another possible stuxnet type attack? Hmmm usual suspects are the USA and Israel. They did it before, they would do it again. Quote

Criticizing someone's intellect while at the same time forgetting to capitalize the start of your sentences is a little ironic. Telling him he lacks intellect for appreciating the humour added to a cyber attack is just stupid. Socialist, I feel sorry for you, and you should feel bad about yourself. The rest of us are laughing at you.
