What OS did Iran use? Stuxnet malware

If they used Windows with the latest patches from Norton, arguably
this would never have happened. But thank Allah for Linux and "virus
free computing", LOL!

Last month, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United
Nation’s nuclear watchdog, said that Iran had suspended work at its
nuclear-field production facilities, likely a result of the Stuxnet
virus.

According to Langer, Iran’s best move would be to throw out all of the
computers that have been infected by the worm, which he said was the
most “advanced and aggressive malware in history.” But, he said, even
once all of the computers were thrown out, Iran would have to ensure
that computers used by outside contractors were also clean of Stuxnet.

“It is extremely difficult to clean up installations from Stuxnet, and
we know that Iran is no good in IT [information technology] security,
and they are just beginning to learn what this all means,” he said.
“Just to get their systems running again they have to get rid of the
virus, and this will take time, and then they need to replace the
equipment, and they have to rebuild the centrifuges at Natanz and
possibly buy a new turbine for Bushehr.”

 

“It is extremely difficult to clean up installations from Stuxnet, and

Do they care about invisible things? I doubt it... except maybe their
God. Bullets and bombs are more visible.

You need to understand the situation. There is the mullahs, and the
revolutionary guard, to whom all such things are profane, and then there
is the legislature which really would love to get rid of the mullahs, so
THEY could have the revolutionary guard, and do all the politically
suitable things like blaming the Israelis for everything, including the
Americans, and then there is the vast majority of the population who got
pissed off with the Shah not being sensitive to their beliefs, and
raking in oil money, so they whizzed him out and got someone they had
never heard of and a theocracy instead.


Apart from a certain nationalism, I am sure the people are only too
happy to have the computers totally borked.

the Mullahs neither know nor care.

its the legislature that is involved in fomenting a war against the
hated Jew, etc etc. etc. And the bomb is there to be waved at Tel Aviv.

 

Patches from Norton?

Better smarten up Ray. Linux is vulnerable to virus and malware just as Windows and
Mac is. Get the facts Ray. before putting your fingers to use as you did here

One of many that is available

Why?

 

Because it won't load SSL?

 

Who cares? What's to protect in that connection?

 

Turn around. See that jet plane that just flew right over the point on

Is that your answer?

I believe it is important to interject here that questions are poor
forms of answering questions. lol

 

Wrong!

Remember, Norton doesn't actually prevent malware from downloading
viruses into the computer, it just detects the infected files and
quarantines or removes them. The agent is almost never "detected" or
blocked - because it's Microsoft's standard functionality.

Worse, it gets Windows to corrupt industrial control devices.

Sounds like he's recommending that they should get rid of all those
Windows computers. Since the infected computers could corrupt the
controllers again.

 

Like this one?

Reboot computer, insert GNU/Linux install CD or USB drive, install.
Extremely difficult? Not!
