Stuxnet is not a virus!
Anyone who
has not heard of the word “Stuxnet” is probably living in a parallel world, looking
it up will give us a definition that simplifies it into a computer Virus thus
classifying it as the known modern phenomenon that is around. We think, such new technologically generated phenomenon
shall always be around….as long as it’s not a biological hazard, the assumption
will be, we can live with it and contain it when the time comes, as was the
case with countless other such Viruses like the Millennium Bug or prior to that
the Davin chi bug and etc.
However Stuxnet, is and was never a Virus, but
simply a complot. (All diagrams with regards to it being a Virus and all those complicated
and intimidating illustrations and explanations are false and intended to
confuse) The name of the game is
irrelevant and the names of the companies involved indeed not quite irrelevant
but in this article secondary, because it should not divert our attentions in
making this “complot” issue more understandable.
It starts
with Iranian companies under contract in Iran to build parts and aspects of Iran’s
sensitive industries, these companies were amongst others searching for
hardware and special machines in Germany (the mother of all industrial nations).
At this point US and Israeli services
started to block and intimidate some of the willing and capable companies in
Germany to back out, only to shepherd a specific Iranian Company into the arms
of a famous German traditional technology institute that sells worldwide and
has much to lose if they do not abide to the method of sale suggested by these
two intelligence services.
The trick
was accepting the deal and delivering the Hardware, but the control systems
should be replaced with defective and manipulated boards that would bust while
operational (very life threatening but as long as it is none of theirs its
irrelevant)….. To understand what is meant, imagine we buy a Porsche (car) and
it is expected of it to be able to accelerate to 200 and above km/h within seconds,
but the salesman wantonly replaces the tires with that of a small vehicle which
are certified until 150-160 km/h speed before handing out..…. In that case when
the Porsche (car) is on the freeway accelerating to its expected and promised
speed, suddenly has a bursting tire at high speed and so the car subsequently
crashes ………. (That is exactly what happened and not some super Virus developed
by some super brains ….alone this assumption / misinformation is intended to intimidate)
This is not
a Virus but a form of terrorism, where corporates and manufacturers are
intimidated into betraying trust and moral with regards to their customers. All
to safeguard a status quo or avoid losing access to markets they are already in.
One
understands why one prefers to call this some computer Virus rather than customer
betrayal.One
also wonders, how many such attacks and manipulations have been committed to date
disguised as cyber-attacks and blamed on third parties?
