Stutnex Virus
Used By Israel To Crash Irans Nuclear Weapon Facility in
2010 -Most Powerful Computer Virus On The Planet -
Warning - Could Even Be Used To Activate and Launch A
Nuclear Weapon Due to the
complexity and sophistication of the code contained within
the Stuxnet worm, the possibility of it being used to take
control of a nuclear warhead is high, according to a
security expert.At Check P oint’s Sydney conference this
week, Check Point Israel security evangelist, Tomer Teller,
said he analysed the code of the Stuxnet worm, which was
used to take control of a nuclear facility in Iran in June,
2009.Teller confirmed the code in Stuxnet could be modified
to launch new SCADA attacks. “Nuclear warheads are
controlled by computers so if someone managed to slip a worm
inside a facility that will reach the warhead component,
they could launch it and than aim it back at the country’s
facility,” he said. “Stuxnet is the first cyber weapon that
could cause major disruption."
