This is just pure genius! We have 4 viruses discovered (so far) that attack physical hardware, allow access to remote cameras & microphones, upload remote files, collect browser & bank login information, & hijack social network accounts. To say that the perpetrators have complete 360 degree coverage of their target is an understatement. This was meant to be able to simultaneously expose the target's sensitive data and deny them the ability to respond effectively. Sounds like the perfect tools for overthrowing a country's government and exposing those complicit in helping that government maintain power. Imagine this scenario with say, Iran: Leak official emails between them and EU countries that are helping them evade sanctions. Leak financial data obtained to prove the allegations. Shutdown Iran's nuclear facilities remotely or just cause a meltdown. Remove Iran's restrictions on internet access and inject disinformation in government officials social networking accounts. Then take the gathered evidence to the UN or other entities to sanction all the complicit countries. This would be more effective than any military strike.

Right on, Amichai, (My people live) ! Easier yet: just one thermo-nuclear device exploded high above Iran would effectively and immediately send that axis of Evil back to stone age, by crippling all computer dependent functions of a country. It has to be done now, as Iran is planning to d same with the USA. It is only the cowardly, spineless Israeli government that stands in a way now....
