1. Pathetic...
Avi ,   oakland, usa   (11.13.11)
Every time someone has diarrhea in Iran, we are being whispered that it is "the long hand of MOSSAD".
2. DUQU, not Doqo, Duqo or Doqu. Interesting hey, language.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.13.11)
3. Wellcome to FRIEND VIRUSES ! ( End )
Mark ,   T.a. israel   (11.13.11)
4. Computer Virus?
jeffrey ,   Texas   (11.13.11)
Ask them if they tried rebooting their computers... Make sure they leave the system for at least 10 seconds. I'll wait... (10 seconds later) Anything?
5. I asked my grandma again : confirmed that its the mossad !
ben zion   (11.13.11)
On the other hand, Jossele said its the eskimos secret service - but you know Jossele : He never gets it.......
6. Iran has not been able to contain all of Stuxnet,
Devorah   (11.13.11)
and it's been 10 months. Mama Stuxnet continues to mutate as she crawls through Iran's questionable systems. In the meantime, let's give a warm welcome to little Duqu who is a forerunner of more nightmares to come for Iran. Little Duqu contained? I wouldn't bet on it.
7. To Ben Zion #5
Gandul Aleph   (11.13.11)
I think your grandma must be friends with my nana - she believes Chinese restaurants use cats for meat to save money.
8. TEE-HEE! POOR LITTLE IRAN!
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (11.13.11)
VIRUSES, EXPLOSIONS, ASSASSINATIONS, THE THREAT OF US BOMBS FALLING OVERHEAD...I'm guessing they must be a bit rattled. Oh, well, based upon the assumption that they've got short memories, they'll bounce right back...even if they don't in reality; they'll at least make the world think they did! LOL! Poor old Iran.... poor babies.
9. Duqu did its job and then Iran discovered it heh heh heh
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (11.13.11)
Iran is so far behind modern technology that it's almost laughable. Over 50 years in terms of the bomb. A virus reports back information on their system and then they discover it. No need to bring on the clowns. They're on stage already.
10. OOPS! Sorry((((
HaifaGuy   (11.13.11)
Dear Armadillojar and the gang! I mournfully admit to creating this virus and the ensuing mess by accidentally pressing the red button on my "Totally Enrage the Iranians by Malware" latest iPhone app. I had no idea it would work...
11. You see - I told you another virus was on its way !
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.13.11)
12. Chuckle
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.13.11)
The G-d of Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. Iran has good reason to be very fearful. Most of the Islamic Republic doesn't have indoor plumbing, and we are supposed to believe they have developed software to defend against malware. Yeah, right. Just like those second and third generation centrifuges which remain unoperational. And those missile defenses of theirs that are unparalleled in the West. Didn't help them much this past weekend .... or am I being too criticial?
13. "the more the merrier"...I whole-heartedly
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.13.11)
agree...maybe Barak knows more...oh well...
14. It needs to be a REAL virus
Doctor Ebola   (11.14.11)
I recommend anthrax.
15. If you want to REALLY disable the Iranian nuclear program...
Vlad   (11.14.11)
Have Mossad officers sneak a couple pounds of C4 into the labs, place them next to the nuclear equipment, and detonate them during work hours so as to kill as many scientists as possible. Also send the Mossad on more missions to kill Iranian scientists. The recent assassinations are not enough.
16. iran
David ,   San Jacinto   (11.14.11)
Go computer virus, the more the merier
17. the more viruses attacking iranian nukes
jj ,   orlando   (11.14.11)
The better. Bravo keep em comin
18. @ 12
Joys   (11.14.11)
oh well .., Iran is in better shape than Pakistan, or am I being too ignorant?
19. Dugri
Mike ,   Boston   (11.14.11)
Let's talk dugri -
20. Duqu hear US?
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (11.14.11)
He who lives by the sword...Iran has been attacking US installations worldwide since the early 80s. How does it feel, mad ayatollahs, to have the mayhem you wrought on the US for 30 years now boomeranging? Next time, go to your friends China or Russia for your PC operating systems! We know Windows. We invented it! Now we know all about your pathetic nuke program, too, thank you Duqu! Hey ragheads, ya might wanna check the guidance systems on your Shahabs. We inserted a little Duqu programming into them, too. When you launch them against Tel Aviv, the three that actually get off the ground are going to take a little detour to Qum. Just call it an IED. I think you are quite familiar with those.
21. What about the bigot virus in Iran's brains
Robert ,   NY USA   (11.14.11)
22. Duqu's etimology
Off the john   (11.14.11)
The one etymology for "DUQU" that leaps to mind is " du cul" that is: "of the arse" or "from the arse" in very colloquial French. Regardless, the Iranians are in dire need of lots of toilet paper considering the excremental nature of its leaders' pronouncements.
23. Hahah ... Canadian made-up language
S ,   Israel   (11.14.11)
24. To: No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.14.11)
They are both basket cases, and both are destined to go the way of the woolly mammoth and the dodo bird.
25. To: Robert at No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.14.11)
While I largely agree with your sentiments, please understand this: the United States had nothing to do with Stuxnet or with Duqu. It's all been Israel. Israel took out the missile base, too. The Moslem-in-Chief of the United States would never countenance American action against Iran. Israel did all the heavy lifting.
26. What a Pig move !
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.14.11)
27. HA-SH*M WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS!
(11.14.11)
28. THESE IDIOTS WILL NOT STOP UNTIL
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (11.14.11)
they get a nuclear disaster on their hand like Chernobyl. A lot of innocent people are going to die so these towel heads stay one more day in charge of Iran. .. What a pity!
29. Everybody knows The Gingi.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.14.11)
OK, it wasn't Steve and not Stephen. Those two developed Apple and told me their machine could be used to mess up SCADA. But Steve is gone now while Stephen Dances with the Stars on the TV. Meanwhile, their neighbor, The Gingi, took over and decided to mess up the Iranian SCADA, the one that monitors their Uranium enriching centrifuges. I'll call The Gingi up tonight and ask whether it's true Iranians have his Duqu licked. Will report to you tomorrow what he says. If true, we can go back to the old Apple II and mess up the Iranian nuclear program again, by Thursday.
