New Stuxnet revelations rattle the intelligence community
Maj. Gen. (res.) Professor Yitzhak Ben-Yisrael, a retired senior developer of combat measures for the Israeli defense establishment, was the first military official to name the exact targets chosen for the Stuxnet attack, which ravaged Iran’s nuclear program in the years 2009-2010. He also broke through the US and Israeli wall of silence, to reveal the routes available for reaching those targets, and how the virus was planted, with great success.
That secret, and more, wre revealed exclusively in the latest DEBKA Weekly out last Friday by our cyber specialist – henceforth a regular contributor to these columns.
