US and Israeli Tech Teams Develop "Malworm" to Take Down Iran's Computer Software

http://www.truth-out.org/new-and-frightening-stuxnet/1320167469


-snip-

According to former and serving US intelligence officials, leaders of the three major software companies, Sergey Brin at Google, Steve Ballmer at Microsoft and Larry Ellison at Oracle have been working with Israel's top cyber warriors and have now come up with a new version of a Stuxnet-like worm that can bring down Iran's entire software networks if the Iranian regime gets too close to breakout, according to US intelligence sources.

The three companies had no comment on this story.

"Cyber warfare is a lot like biological warfare. It's hard to stop. It's uncontrollable. It can bite you in the ass," said one US official.

-long snip of baloney-

There is little doubt that cyber offensives are a growing segment of warfare as evidenced by a recent New York Times report about a debate within the Obama administration to use the weapon to neutralize Libya's computer networks.

5. This is an old story isn't it?
One that was always strongly denied by the usual contingent that supports anything that Israel or the Pentagram do.

Just some Extreme Enviroweenie Biased Claptrap is what I was told about it here.

Just like HAARP doesn't exist.
