Remember #stuxnet?If not, I really recommend doing a deep dive:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjmm48zwQUPersonally I am pretty sure the NSA and maybe NSO is behind the virus and at the time it was the same old storyInfect half the internet in hopes it would end up on computers in nuclear refineries in Iran so it would mess with the feq of the centrifuges to make them unusable (very short story)The US will do anything to "achieve its goals", I am convinced of that

@stux I had wondered if Stuxnet was the origin of your username, thanks for the confirmation.Stuxnet was an example of counter proliferation action requiring no kinetic warfare. It's what we should have stuck with because it clearly worked.

@stux @mfr Totally can recommend that book, by Kim Zetter. Once I started reading it I just had to finish it. That is how I spend one day on a sunny island - laying at the beach and getting sucked in.Once you've read it, I'd recommend reading the articles from Huib Modderkolk and watching the four-part documentary show (available on NPO Plus, NLziet etc).

@stux I think the pointing in several directions within the same circle was an effective bit of cover, and only necessary to protect the private resources co-opted for the program.Well, that and masking the location of the likely testbed facility.
