On Retirement, Israeli General Takes Credit for Stuxnet Attacks

Posted by timothy on from the all-in-all-it's-been-a-good-run dept.

dinscott writes "Last month, The New York Times ran a story about Stuxnet having been developed by the Americans and the Israelis as a part of a joint project, but it was based on claims by confidential sources. It now seems that the information from these sources was correct. The Haaretz — Israel's oldest daily newspaper — reports on a surprising video that was played at a party organized for General Gabi Ashkenazi's last day on the job."

    OK, everybody can calm down.

    According to Google translate it was the "Stoxnat" virus. Completely different critter entirely.

    Nothing to see here, move along.

    The Haaretz — Israel's oldest daily newspaper — reports

    However the Bible, the world's first and oldest printed book, fails to mention any aspect of this story, including the General's involvement.

    You obviously forgot to check the Apocrypha.

    The recently found Dead Sea stone slabs, however, describe these events in quite amazing detail:

    "..and behold! The Worm of God will hacketh the infidels' things and stop the things from spinning and on the last day [at the job] god's general will rejoice with Styx."

    Technically speaking, Microsoft really deserves more of the credit than Gabi Ashkenazi.
