Stuxnet Update
Apparently it is not going well in Tehran, Iran if you’re a computer professional. Iran has reportedly become desperate and is reaching out to computer experts across the globe, offering handsome rewards for assistance in clearing out the Stuxnet worm. Iran has refused to provide details on locations and impact to these experts which has dampened the response. Iran is claiming in a number of conflicting reports that 30-40,000 systems and networks have been affected/infected. Sources at DEBKAfile put the number in the millions. DEBKAfile also reports that Iran’s own efforts to irradicate the worm has only “irritated” it and made matters worse.
Regardless of who initiated this attack, this could be the most impressive cyberattack to date. It appears to be controlled, targeted and, given this response, effective.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
