Iran Arrests Alleged Spies Over Stuxnet Worm

Posted by Soulskill on from the feeding-the-propaganda-machine dept.

kaptink writes "Reports surfacing from Iran claim 'nuclear spies' have been arrested over the infection at the Busheher nuclear station, which opened in August. According to Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi, because Stuxnet is so sophisticated, cost so much to write and uses two stolen security certificates, he believes only a national intelligence agency or a huge private company could have devised it, calling them 'enemies' spy services."

    They may be right this time, but who will believe them? For those living under a rock, I'm referring to the 3 American hikers who allegedly strayed over the border from Kurdish Iraq, two of which are still being held as spies.

    Let me reuse your argument in a similar way.

    The US may be right about the innocence of the 3 hikers, but who will believe them? For those living under a rock I'm referring to the fact that the US still wont even properly investigate into who really shot their own president 47 years ago!

    It's intentional and it makes a good point.
