I've Been Thinking:
Iran has confirmed that on Tuesday and Wednesday they were targeted by a computer hack.
They said that two targets were attacked and that in order to make certain that everything is safe, they took other offices of the grid.
Since Stuxnet, Iran has made their systems independent. They have nothing on the internet. Everything internal.
This attack was very effective. They did not hide it from the public, Iranian media covered the hack.
If I were managing a cyber attack I would use the small attacks on the two agencies as a ploy. I would watch as Iran shut down and rebooted several of what would be my more significant targets. Watching, and maybe even injecting spyware.
Whatever attacked Iran, it is highly sophisticated. No doubt it will strike again.
