Despite the slightly ironic title of this post, it seems very likely that the ultra-sophisticated malware Stuxnet made his first "real" victims, yesterday (Monday, 29 November 2010), Iran. Teachers Majid Shahriari and Feredoun Abbasi-Davani accompanied by their wives, were traveling in their vehicles when one or two teams motorbike attacked vehicles. The first team apparently managed to slip a magnetic bomb against the vehicle, launched from a safe distance, while the other vehicle was strafed.
The photo appeared in the press leaves little doubt about the strafing in which Professor Shahriari was killed, others injured without being as we know the status of these injuries. In any case, these attacks are not by chance, the two professors working for the Iranian nuclear program. But the professor is killed not because anyone was coordinating the fight against Stuxnet in the nuclear program and military networks. I will give more information soon on the effectiveness of Stuxnet that seems increasingly true: the enrichment site in Natanz where turning hundreds of centrifuges has been suspended for six days from November 16 to 22 while an important air defense exercise had to be shortened on November 17. So beyond nuclear facilities, it seems that this time the radar or have indicated tracks "ghosts".

The two near-simultaneous attacks were carried out yesterday so professional in one of the most closely monitored areas normally Tehran. I will not elaborate on potential sponsors themselves if the eyes will inevitably towards Israel. In all cases, the death of the man who fought against Stuxnet is a blow to Iran's nuclear program. At a time when Wikileaks is talked about, Iran seems increasingly the target of various and complementary ways to order unconventional, sophisticated and targeted.
