I'm 99% sure we had a thread about Stuxnet when it first happened, but the search function on this board is full of fail since the switchover.

Good to hear, given that the alternative is Israeli and possibly American jets dropping bombs all over the country. If screwing with their computers buys us another few years, excellent. Who knows what could happen in that time that makes bombing them unecessary?

Seems like a great strategy. If they want a court case discovery will turn up all sorts of good intel on their systems.

Sort of like the fascists honing their skills during the Spanish civil war.

No collateral damage and cheaper than a military strike by far - as long as the enemy country has a computer network worth hacking into (read: not north korea), this is a great strategy indeed.
