So who was it this time? Israel, or the US?

[Marf]

Or possibly even us!

We'd know by us. The Iranians would have been able to track it back to the envelope the 3 1/2 floppy came in.

Well it not america

The large pile of dead people and a few smoking helicopters is normally the sign of an american covert operation


So it is probably an agency with technological skills way beyond us

The bulgarian state washing machine company

This seems far less subtle that Stuxnet.

This is the most amazing article (if you're a bit of a geek) about Stuxnet.

That was fascinating, and makes you wonder what else is out there that hasn't been detected?

LOADS.

Cyberwarfare will become more and more commonly used as computing becomes more ubiquitous.

The US have been pumping money into it since before 9/11, Gary McKinnon's "hack" of NASA and the Pentagon was used as evidence to push through increased cyber security budgets. Ironic really given the lack of security he encountered

Iran managed the hack and down a drone not so long back, they also put a satellites into space ( and i guess nukes strapped to the rockets soon )

They also hacked the data onboard

These people are not fools and it's rather concerning.

Yeah, I realise that... I was referring to the delivery method used by the British cyber warfare unit.

Yes i know, i'm just saying we are messing with fire or someone is, these attacks are an act of war, fingers crossed they don't develop Nukes..
