![]() « Jordan's Slow Economic Growth | Main | Iraqi PM Visits Iran » Iran's Biggest Fear
By Micah Halpern
Monday October 18, 2010 I've Been Thinking: The real worry about the new worm that is affecting Iran is not how many computers are now disabled. The Iranians know that they were hit very hard and that about a million computers were affected. They know that it will take enormous amounts of time and energy to rid the computers of the worm -if they can even do that at all. The biggest fear is that the worm will lie dormant. That it will remain undetected until the machinery that has been infected is fired up and used. That means that the Iranians will have no idea if their missile system will even fly - let alone fly straight and hit the target until the missiles have been shot. India's satellite system was not even the target of the worm and 12 of 24 of India's transponders were totally shut down by the worm. Iran's real fear is that this worm is a more effective weapon than anyone can even imagine. Iran is correct to be afraid. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=halpern%2C+micah 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
