From what I heard this morning, the worm can hide and appear at a much later date. Iran may need to start over. Drat.
Civility.

Bill Hemmer was handwringing on FoxNews this morning. ‘What will they respond with? We have computers too, ya know.’

By an odd coincidence, the people from whom they’re spending billions to obtain reactor technology and even more billions to fix the stuff they have, the Russians, also happen to have a large and very lucrative custom virus and Trojan operation. Not that I would ever accuse the Russians of standing to make money off the situation, you understand.
To: TomGuy
Yeabut, all the BEST hackers and programmers are on OUR side of the hookah.
Besides, if you wanna stage an offensive, you’ve gotta get the ball, first, and Stuxnet has the Iranians stuck in the locker room. All their best players are working on sanitizing their systems of this worm; that leaves nobody available to mount an offensive.

I’m starting to wonder if Hemmer isn’t sharing a locker with Shemp Smith.

So, were all of these centrifuges somehow networked, or was the virus in the software for all of them from the beginning?
To: HKMk23

Wasn’t there a thread over the weekend that quoted a Russian engineer as saying that Iran was headed toward a Chernobyl of its own?

...It also sends out false signals to make the system think everything is running smoothly.

Nope,
Iran needs to flip the switch and have their little nuke plant melt down.
Simple flip of a switch may put a smile on lots of folks faces.
To: The Comedian
Could you add me to your nuke ping list?
Thanks
