Russia’s nuclear agency Rosatom has rejected media reports that the computer virus Stuxnet has impacted Iran’s nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr.

“There are no viruses in the power plant’s computer network, especially in units responsible for security, because this network is totally autonomous and isolated from external sources,” Xinhua quoted Rosatom spokesman Sergei Novikov as saying on Monday.

His remarks came after Western media outlets claimed on January 17 that the computer bug had caused “enormous damage” to the Bushehr reactor.

Yes but that air gap security was breached thanks to a scientist or tech who took his laptop between the two networks and finally got stuxnet inside.

While stuxnet did a beautiful job and a lot of damage, the bottom line is that it was only a delay, if only they could be delayed further until 2013 when (hopefuly) some adults are in charge of the USA, a more permanent solution can be found ;)
