Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant pwned?
The Israelis may have used the computer worm stuxnet to shut down the Bushehr plant. If so Iran is neutralized, and their quest for an atomic bomb is a pipe dream.

Thank you, John, for the heads up. Normally we wouldn't publish an article without a URL link, but this is important enough that I googled "Iran Bushehr stuxnet"; I found lots of articles dated yesterday -- the computer world seems a bit excited about the subject. Now the headline links to a Christian Science Monitor general article on the subject. For those of you with a more technical background, try this article from PCWorld.
I'm not sure, though, that Iran's nuclear bomb program is neutralized, given their secret uranium refinement sites hidden around the country, including the one dug into a mountain above Qom, but this would certainly be a strong blow, if true. Not to mention the concern it should raise in the minds of any of Israel's enemies with computers, whether connected to the internet or only using memory sticks to transfer information. |
