Computer geeks won a major battle without a shot being fired this year and you probably didn't hear about it.

This is probably the most profound news story of the year because a huge battle and maybe a war did not occur in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. Israel would have likely attacked Iran this year to stop their nuclear program from bearing fruit and it didn't happen.

 

I read this article a while ago, definitely worth the read.

 

Yeap some Iranian brought some **** to work on a flashdrive.... happens all the time!

 

Bad. ***.

 

Read about this a couple months ago, but only after it was brought to my attention...no news coverage that I was aware of. Pretty amazing what a little programming can do. I'm kinda baffled by the complexity/"intelligence" of the worm and what it accomplished.

 

That is awesome

 

Some of that info may be overly embellished, but I definitely think that "cyber warfare" will continue to escalate over the next several years.

 

Any actual news agencies cover this?

 

Fox???

I read this yesterday and found it very interesting.

 

My biggest question as well is Fox News?? Really?

 

I heard about it, but nothing more - Very good read - thanks for linking it.

 

Wow, almost as neat as someone blowing up some skyscrapers inciting the ridiculous engorgement of the USA's military industrial complex, the intelligence industrial complex, and domestic spying industrial complex.

 

The only thing engorged here is your irrational hard-on for the military.

 

The fact that it "Adapts" scares me.

Hasn't anyone watched Terminator? It's going to become self aware!!!

20 year from now **** like that will take out your refrigerator and leave you with warm beer. The end of the world "as we know it" is much closer now...

Am I the only person who wonders why on earth you would need a $4,000 propane-powered toilet?


[SERIOUS]

It's not like this whole cyber-warfare thing is particularly new. After receiving intel that the Soviets were planning to steal a certain industrial control system from Canada, the CIA slipped some code into the product which subsequently resulted in the Urengoy - Surgut - Chelyabinsk natural gas pipeline explosion.

In 1982.
