StuxNet: New Cyber Weapon

I came across a malware called Stuxnet somewhere around end of August but thought it might just another common medium-risk category virus that surfaced around da globe. However, after went thru some updates I realized this is a new cyber weapon designed to either destroy or sabotage Iran’s nuclear programme.

Although many security experts have yet to identify da crafter of this nasty bomb, assumptions have pointed that Stuxnet is da work of a national government agency.  I’m sure many of us would think that US and Israeli government capable to create such an advanced technology that can infiltrate remote computer systems especially against their rivals with da likes of Iran, Pakistan, India and even Indonesia. This malware also dubbed as “Super Aurora” was targeting these countries that posses nuclear power plant.

Simple terminology:  When this malware successfully infiltrate into Windows-based platform computers  that  running nuclear programming software such as Siemens SCADA, it can replicates by itself, manipulate and manage itself, including backfire da entire systems.

My guess is this attack got something to do with da Iranian’s President’s recent outburst during his opening speech at UN Summit on da 24 Sept 2010. He told da floor that da US government was behind da 9/11 attack on d American soil.  He quoted that “There was a theory that some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East, in order also to save the Zionist regime”.

US President Barrack Obama responded fiercely by condemning da Iranian President’s remark as “offensive” and “hateful”.

Think about it.. United States and Israel always wana be da “Army” and “Police” of this world. They are da people who can only carry weapons and armory. Da rests of the countries are just “civilians” who must obey their “rules and laws”. B*S#!
