I thought the Russians have been openly helping the Iranians for years?

With their 'peaceful' nuke program. I think they've denied playing a part in the weapons part...and this would tend to dispute those claims.

That’s how you do it. If I ran a super secure something there would be no USB ports or DVD/CD players on the computers. There are other entry ways I would also cut off. Obviously no internet connection

An Amerocentric view is I think inappropriate.

I would concur: my thinking at the time was 'those on our side' rather than the US in particular. The original infection was attributed to a joint US/Israeli operation, IIRC. My wording wasn't sufficiently explanatory, of course.

The ISS Not Infected With The Stuxnet Virus

A false news report is floating around that the International Space Station (ISS) was infected by the Stuxnet virus. A handful of media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Stuxnet virus, which became famous for sabotaging the Iranian uranium program, has been unleashed on the space station.

“Scientists, from time to time, are coming to space with USBs which are infected. I’m not kidding,” he said in his speech. “I was talking to Russian space guys and they said ‘yes, from time to time there are virus epidemics in the space station.’”

According to Kaspersky, these sophisticated viruses would cost about $10 million to build. He said half of all malware was written in Chinese, but these programmers apparently don’t care about their personal security because researchers regularly find personal photos and social network accounts on servers used in attack campaigns. He added that although Russian-coded malware was less prevalent than viruses from other countries, it is the most sophisticated in the world.

Interesting... a week after this thread comes out there’s a meeting at the White House:

NOVEMBER 21, 2013 5PM : (THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE : DEBBIE WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ’S IT AIDE ABID AWAN AMONG GROUP OF VISITORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE ) ...A search of guests at the White House show that Imran’s younger brother Abid was a guest at the White House on Thursday, November 21, 2013. He arrived at 5pm and didn’t depart for 7 hours. He attended with another 17 individuals.
What was Abid, the IT Specialist, doing at the White House for 7 hours after 5pm in 2013, why was he there, who was with him and where was Obama?
Why did Obama’s staff hold a 7 hr. meeting at the White House with #ImranAwan‘s brother Abid Awan? Who are the 17 people? For what purpose? pic.twitter.com/uG0wOU5I2N
UPDATE: Abid has hired a top attorney.....litigation specialty is money-laundering.—— Gateway Pundit ^ | 27 July 2017 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by Lorianne
