Iran’s nuclear program has been attacked by a cyber-virus that shut down key functions and blasted music by AC/DC on each computer station.
A scientist employed by the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) revealed the breach to security website F-Secure on Wednesday morning, who confirmed the authenticity of the email.
The email said: “Our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm… The automation network and Siemens hardware were attacked and shut down. I only know very little about these cyber issues as I am scientist, not a computer expert.
“There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out. I believe it was playing Thunderstruck by AC/DC.”
Iran’s nuclear program is a common victim to cyber-attacks, which according to a news.com.au report, the country’s leaders blame on Israel and the United States.
