Stuxnet Worm Claimed To Be Devastating In Iran

sciencewatcher writes "At debka.com, a website associated with intelligence communities focusing on the Middle East, the claim is made that Tehran this week secretly appealed to a number of computer security experts in West and East Europe with offers of handsome fees for consultations on ways to exorcise the Stuxnet worm spreading havoc through the computer networks and administrative software of its most important industrial complexes and military command centers."

    I think Iran did it to themselves.

    THIS is the message we should promote. That's what they say about us, right?

    Getting technical information from Debka is like getting your foreign affairs info from the New York Daily News.

    Do you think the US did this in an official capacity, an "official" capacity, or had nothing to do with it?

    Do you think the US did this in an official capacity, an "official" capacity, an official "capacity", an "official" "capacity", that the US "did" this in an "official" "capacity", that the "US" did this, that the US ordered this, that the US sponsored this, that the US suggested this, or that you're foolish enough to think the US is nothing but a happy fluffy cloud heaven of rainbows and unicorns and everything's happy and good like the stupid, stupid sheeple you are and that I hate just so much and I hate you?

    I mean, seriously, the hate-the-US attitude is cute and all, and I know it's the most common attitude here in Slashdot, but you can at least TRY to be subtle about it so you don't come off as a generic crank.

    Who died and made you the Supreme Court? Or is there something in the constitution that allows any ill-informed muppet the right to make that judgement?

    So what you're saying is you're treating the website differently because it's from a specific race.

    Gotcha. Racist.
