Iran Nuclear Facilities Have Been Thunderstruck
'AC/DC virus' hits Iran nuke plants
Quote:
In a blog post earlier this week, F-Secure Labs, which monitors spyware, phishing and other cyber threats, said a scientist working at the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) sent “a series of e-mails” saying computer systems at the Natanz and Fordo nuclear facilities had been infected by a computer worm.
The sender said hackers shut down their automation network and Siemens hardware.
“I only know very little about these cyber issues as I am scientist not a computer expert,” read one excerpt, as translated by F-Secure.
“There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out. I believe it was playing Thunderstruck by AC/DC.”
