| 'Enemy waging cyber war against Iran' |
| 2010-09-30 |
| [Iran Press TV] Iran's Minister of Telecommunications Reza Taqipour says the Iranian president's speech at the UN prompted enemies to try and wage a cyber war against the country. "Fortunately the country's telecommunication infrastructure in the cyber field is really good," Taqipour said on Wednesday, adding that the enemy cannot cross these obstacles. Taqipour stressed that considerable measures have been taken to provide the security of cyberspace and Iranian websites. "Last year and during the sedition ordeal these [cyber] attacks were ongoing but domestic networks and websites were never seriously damaged." Taqipour added that nowadays because of Iran's strong infrastructure in cyberspace, the Iranian nation's voice can be heard in the world. The remark came after Western media claimed that computers at the Bushehr nuclear plant in southern Iran had been infected with the Stuxnet worm. The Windows-specific malware targets computers using SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) -- a control system favored by industries managing water supplies, oil rigs, and power plants. |
