Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors

Trailrunner7 writes "There is a growing sentiment among security researchers that the programmers behind the Stuxnet attack may not have been the super-elite cadre of developers that they've been mythologized to be in the media. In fact, some experts say that Stuxnet could well have been far more effective and difficult to detect had the attackers not made a few elementary mistakes."

This is the article worth pointing to on the subject: http://rdist.root.org/2011/01/17/stuxnet-is-embarrassing-not-amazing/, not the bullshit linkbait threatpost.com(MERCIAL) "article".

This is not some mundane detail Michael!

32 years counts as "decades"

Decades? Decades ago Iran was on our side. We were selling them weapons and intel. We installed a leader for them. There was no need for a 'diplomacy' decades ago.

2011 - 1979 = 32, that is over 3 decades, Jimmy Carter was president.

Perhaps you are confusing Iran and Iraq. We supported Saddam Hussein in Iraq with weapons and intel because we viewed Iran as the enemy.
