Ever since Russia announced it would help fuel the reactor public outcry has ensued.
Now it faces a new set of problems, the Stuxnet computer virus has spread to the PC's of staff,
and infected the offline power stations mainframe.
The virus has primarily been found in Iran, Indonesia, & the US.
With the brunt taking place in Iran (60,000) & 2nd highest in Indonesia (10,000)
The Uranium cetrifuge farm at Natanz has also been attacked due to the sheer volume in Iran.
Anti-Virus bigwigs Symantec explain the complexity of the worm means it's unlikely to have been developed by a lone hacker, but rather a team of highly-trained software engineers.
The virus is highly sophisticated, unloading itself from one PC to the next involuntarily unnoticed.
Germany security firm Langner deemed it the "hack of the century".
A representative for the anti-virus company Kaspersky called it "groundbreaking"
One of the the things which stands out about Stuxnet, is its purpose to locate, penetrate, & control Industrial control systems also known as SCADA.
It also looks for a programming interface to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
digital computers used in industry & machine for automation & electromechanical processes.
In other words, it seems like it was created to de-industrialize society, or more specifically Iran.
If the virus thrives within the power station it could pose a serious threat to the citizens of Iran.
As far as I'm concerned.... in any investigation, if you want to find the culprit,
you first observe the victims enemy. No names necessary.
