They should have played some Barbra Streisand instead. Now that would have reeeeeeealllly pissed the Iranians off.

I get pissed off every time they play Barbra Streisand after a Flames goal.

He's talking about the artist named Barbra Streisand rather than the song by Ducksauce.

Its been an ongoing thing in Iran, this is just a latest of a number of attacks that have kept IT security guys entertained and slightly worried about the future of designer attacks.

Hilarious stuff.

Well, until some Chinese hackers render Enmax useless and I can't cook my pizza pop.

Yes, I'm well aware of who Barbra Streisand is.

The virus also prompted several of the computers on site to play the song “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC at full volume in the middle of the night, according to the e-mail, part of which is published in English on the website.

An attack where the infected PCs start playing AC/DC isn’t that likely “unless the attacker really wants the victim to know they are hit,” Hypponen said.
That actually doesn't sound like something a foreign government like the USA would add into the mix.

That and the rest of it looks more like an irritating prank from non-government hackers.

My two cents.
