Awesome: Latest Cyber Attack Against Iran Nukes Plays AC/DC All Night
Possibly the greatest virus ever? Here's an email from an Iranian nuclear scientist:
I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordo near Qom.Hackers: they're only bad when they work for the opposing team.According to the email our cyber experts sent to our teams, they believe a hacker tool Metasploit was used. The hackers had access to our VPN. The automation network and Siemens hardware were attacked and shut down. I only know very little about these cyber issues as I am scientist not a computer expert.
There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out. I believe it was playing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC.
Turn up the volume, and listen infidels!
