Emails from Iran

Over the weekend, I received a series of emails from Iran. They were sent by a scientist working at the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI).

The scientist reached out to publish information about Iranian nuclear systems getting struck by yet another cyber attack.

He wrote:

I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordo near Qom.

According to the email our cyber experts sent to our teams, they believe a hacker tool Metasploit was used. The hackers had access to our VPN. The automation network and Siemens hardware were attacked and shut down. I only know very little about these cyber issues as I am scientist not a computer expert.

There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out. I believe it was playing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC.

I'm not sure what to think about this. We can't confirm any of the details. However, we can confirm that the researcher was sending and receiving emails from within the AEOI.

Încep schemele la nivel înalt. Fie de o parte, fie de alta.

Cred ca au inceput de cel putin 2 ani.

SUA a afirmat ca ei au creat Stuxnet.

Yep, dar pân? acum se jucau f?r? s? ?tie cineva. Acum este cam public. Ceva de genul deepweb. Pân? acum doar unii se foloseau de acele informa?ii. Acum aproape a devenit mainstream. Mai aiurea va fi când se vor distra ?ia micii cu coade de centrale nucleare sau alte n?zbâtii, asta dup? înc? câteva luni/ani de leakage. :/

Ii termina psihologic, ii face sa nu mai aiba incredere in nimic nici macar in masinile cu care lucreaza, maine-poimaine, opresc programul ajungand la concluzia ca este un pericol pentru ei . NOT!!! dar aici se bate. FFFF funny!
