Iran may have developed offensive cyberwar capabilities

Posted on 10:45 by Unknown

After Stuxnet, Iran seems to have developed offensive cyberwar capabilities, possibly with Russian help.



Catnip, organised by me in chronological order. First, the Stuxnet story:


  • Israeli test on worm called crucial in Iran nuclear delay, by William J. Broad, John Markoff, David E. Sanger, in the New York Times, 15 January 2011.

  • A declaration of cyber war, by Michael Joseph Gross in Vanity Fair, April 2011.

  • Obama order sped up wave of cyberattacks against Iran, David E. Sanger, New York Times, 1 June 2012.

  • Confront and conceal by David E. Sanger, 5 June 2012.

  • Stuxnet: Leaks or lies, Steven Cherry interviewed Larry Constantine, IEEE Spectrum, 4 September 2012.



And then, the recent developments:


  • Cyberattacks against US corporations are on the rise, by David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth in the New York Times, 12 May 2013.

  • New computer attacks traced to Iran, officials say, by Nicole Perlroth and David E. Sanger, in the New York Times, 24 May 2013.

  • Silent War, by Michael Joseph Gross in Vanity Fair, July 2013.
