Is a Rogue Computer Virus Shutting Down Nuclear Plants Worldwide?

Is a Rogue Computer Virus Shutting Down Nuclear Plants Worldwide? ........NO

As Israel National News writes today:




QUOTE:

"[Langner] went on to describe the risk that Stuxnet could be used to blow up power plants:


"The idea here is not only to fool the operators in the control room. It actually is much more dangerous and aggressive. The idea here is to circumvent a digital safety system.... when they are compromised, then real bad things can happen. Your plant can blow up and and neither your operators nor your safety system will notice it. That's scary. But it gets worse - and this is very important, what I am going to say. Think about this: this attack is generic. It doesn't have anything to do with specifics with centrifuges, with uranium enrichment. So it would work as well, for example in a power plant or in an automobile factory. It is generic. And as an attacker you don't have to deliver this payload by a USB stick, as we saw it in the case of Stuxnet. You could also use conventional worm technology for spreading. Just spread it as wide as possible. And if you do that, what you end up with is a cyberweapon of mass destruction."

"That's the consequence that we have to face," he said, deliberately, while showing a map that marked Western countries (Israel not included) in green. "So unfortunately, the biggest number of targets for such attacks are not in the Middle East. They are in the United States, in Europe and in Japan. So all the green areas, these are your target-rich environments. We have to face the consquences and we better start to prepare right now.""

You obviously did not bother to read the article at all.

Neither did you deny that a rogue computer virus may have disabled safety systems (deliberately?) at Fukushima (interestingly).

A shill says what?

Wow, somebody's actually reading tonight.

Thought it was the BC/COLB thing.

Muahahahaha!

I will make all your nuclear plants melt down unless you send me one MILLION DOLLARS!

(I want to buy a loaf of bread in the year 2012 when I get there.)

well, 9-11 didn't happen in the Middle East either.

;)

who the hell is running this NEED TO KNOW game? I say we make it stop.

Then try the criminals.

Israel, U.S. and Siemens -- good places to start looking for the bad guys in this case.

Hey, I wonder what Jack Parsons Wheeler might have known about Fukushima before he was whacked.

You would hope that nuclear plant computers run on something other than windows....

Two words:


"lowest bidder"

Nuclear power plants are abominations
they should ALL be shut down.

If only nuclear weapons could catch a virus.
