Ok, but who initially had an infected removable drive to insert into one of Iran’s secret computers?

I think it originated from one of my replies right here on FR. Got protection?

Yawn!!

Even if it was TESTED by Israel it still dont mean that they even had a hand in creating it and besides just how can the NY Slimes prove that Israel even had contact in developing and/or testing it?

This is just the usual anti-Semite smear from the the left.

Since when did the “American people” desert Israel? There is no doubt that Obama wants to toss them under the bus. I suspect that the majority of Americans support them in their fight to survive.

“So how did Iran’s computers get infected?”

From what I have read else where, the Iranian nuclear facility was not connected to the internet. So what they did was generally send it out to get on the laptops of Iranian nuclear scientist and some of them took their laptops into the secure facility and plug into the system there and voila.

When the American voters elected Obama their stupidity betrayed Israel.

Wouldn’t it have been better if all this had been kept secret. Aren’t we just setting our selves up as a target by rubbing their noses in it.

Glad to know the news just not sure if I needed to know.

The NYT is a super-retarded virus designed to attack the US of A.

I am so happy anytime anything bad happens to the current Iranian regime. I wish their entire military would self immolate. Iran has attacked the U.S. over and over again and we never do anything about it. They have done far more evil to us than Saddam ever did.

It was interesting how that virus worked. I just assumed it attacked their computers and wondered why they could not just replace them. Glad to know it destroyed their equipment too.

Dear Mr. Ahmadinejad:

This is to inform you that we at the Nigerian Department of Energy have a surplus of yellowcake uranium due to a procurement error.

If you will help us to complete this transaction, a portion of this surplus can be made available to you...

Here’s hoping for Stuxnet II and Stuxnet III to be launched against Iran’s nuke program. Also for more of their nuke scientists to ‘meet Allah’ via explosives taped to car winshields.

I hope the crazy Persian dictators are scared to death thinking that other critical systems throughout Iran are similarly infected by other tailor made viruses. If one can be crafted in such a manner to remain undetected and specific to a task, what other “enemies” of Israel and the West could be dealt catastrophic blows in the future, with systems ranging from nuclear facilities to infrastructure to military capabilities.

It’s a new world.

You can bet China or Russia is working on the same thing to use against us someday.

This is just the usual anti-Semite smear from the the left.

Only if you think there's something wrong with Israel mounting a cyberattack to harm Iran's nuke program. I certainly don't. In fact, kudos to them, because this thing was definitely a very targeted and sophisticated attack and did the world a huge favor.

The Times doesn't really have a scoop here. There were signs pointing to this being an Israeli operation, possibly with the involvement of the US and Germany late last year, at least in the security industry anyway. I had already come to the conclusion that it was probably an Israeli op by early November.

Can it be proven? No, I don't think so. But it's pretty darn likely.

How did they know the virus was Jewish? Did it wear a yamulka? Did it refuse to work on Saturdays?

Sneaky way they got the Iranians to download the virus, too, hiding it on a site for goat porn.

Yep, another reason to try off the grid living (or as independently as possible).
