How Digital Detectives Deciphered Stuxnet, the Most Menacing Malware in History

 

 

An awesome Article about a deciphering a jaw-dropping Cyberattack on Iran Nuclear Plant

 

 

 

It’s a very, very long article with lot of technical details. Will take 20+ minutes to read it but it’s worth every second. It’s almost like a thriller novel. And just look at how US and Israel tried to sabotage Iran Nuclear facility.

 

It was January 2010, and investigators with the International Atomic Energy Agency had just completed an inspection at the uranium enrichment plant outside Natanz in central Iran, when they realized that something was off within the cascade rooms where thousands of centrifuges were enriching uranium.

Natanz technicians in white lab coats, gloves and blue booties were scurrying in and out of the “clean” cascade rooms, hauling out unwieldy centrifuges one by one, each sheathed in shiny silver cylindrical casings.

 

Any time workers at the plant decommissioned damaged or otherwise unusable centrifuges, they were required to line them up for IAEA inspection to verify that no radioactive material was being smuggled out in the devices before they were removed. The technicians had been doing so now for more than a month.

India has the most toxic air: Study

It is official: India has the world's most toxic air.

 

In a study by Yale and Columbia Universities, India holds the very last rank among 132 nations in terms of air quality with regard to its effect on human health.

India scored a miniscule 3.73 out of a possible 100 points in the analysis, lagging far behind the next worst performer, Bangladesh, which scored 13.66. In fact, the entire South Asian region fares badly, with Nepal, Pakistan and China taking up the remaining spots in the bottom five of the rankings.

 

These rankings are part of a wider study to index the nations of the world in terms of their overall environmental performance. The Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and Columbia's Center for International Earth Science Information Network have brought out the Environment Performance Index rankings every two years since 2006.

 

In the overall rankings — which takes 22 policy indicators into account — India fared minimally better, but still stuck in the last ten ranks along with environmental laggards such as Iraq, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. At the other end of the scale, the European nations of Switzerland, Latvia and Norway captured the top slots in the index.

 

India's performance over the last two years was relatively good in sectors such as forests, fisheries, biodiversity and climate change. However, in the case of water — both in terms of the ecosystem effects to water resources and the human health effects of water quality — the Indian performance is very poor.

 

The Index report was presented at the World Economic Forum currently taking place in Davos, where it's being pitched as a means to identify the leaders and the laggards on energy and environmental challenges prior to the iconic Rio+20 summit on sustainable development to be held in Brazil this June.

According To The FBI, Internet Privacy Is Now Considered To Be Suspicious Activity

 

When you use the Internet in a public place, do you prefer to have as much privacy as possible? Well, that makes you a potential terrorist. According to the FBI, Internet privacy is now considered to be suspicious activity. If you are out in public and you attempt to keep snoopers from peeking at your computer screen, then according to the FBI they should gather as much information about you as they can and they should report you to the authorities immediately. If this seems completely and totally ridiculous to you, then you are not alone. Millions of Americans have become deeply concerned about the constantly expanding definition of ?suspicious activity? in the United States. Sadly, the federal government is now engaging in an all-out attempt to have us all spy on one another. All over America, the Department of Homeland Security is running ads promoting the ?See Something, Say Something? campaign. They even had 8,000 stadium workers at the Super Bowl this year go through special training on how to spot potential terrorists. So the next time you see a hot dog vendor, keep in mind that he might also be part of a special anti-terrorism task force.The following are some quotes from a government document entitled ?Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Internet Café?. In between each quote, I have included some commentary. It is absolutely amazing what the definition of ?suspicious activity? now includes?.

 

?Act nervous or suspicious behavior inconsistent with activities?

?Always pay cash or use credit card(s) in different name(s)?

?Are overly concerned about privacy, attempts to shield the screen from view of others?

?Suspicious communications using VOIP or communicating through a PC game?

?Encryption or use of software to hide encrypted data in digital photos, etc.?

?Evidence of a residential based internet provider (signs on to Comcast, AOL, etc.)?
