Iran Claims New Cyber Attack On Its Nuclear Plants, Blames US and Allies

judgecorp writes "Iran has reported that its nuclear facilities are under a sustained cyber attack which it blames on the U.S., UK and Israel. America and Israel created Stuxnet, and have been accused of starting the Flame worm." And once a country admits that it's created such software, publicly deflecting such blame gets a lot harder.

    Of course, the easiest way to disrupt our network communications is still a well placed physical disruption.

    It's called a Slashdotting. Pioneered it, back in the day.

    What? How else are they going to receive the nuclear weapons plans like W80 stolen from the USA by the Chinese translated into Persian by the Pakistanis?

    What is this, the third time now? Usually you institute rules like "No browsing porn on the centrifuge control computers" after the first time. Maybe your scientists realize that if they start producing anything bomb-worthy, Israel will come in and flatten their facility, likely killing them all in the process. So maybe they just tell you "Oh! Those filthy Americans infected our computers again!" and go back to playing Tetris for another couple of years.
