As far as malicious computer 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスing is 関心d, the most 最近の違反 of 安全 at Iran's 核の施設s may not be very serious... unless you hate the music of Australian 激しく揺する禁止（する）d AC/DC.

It has been 申し立てられた／疑わしい that 身元不明の computer hackers have 軍隊d 労働者s at two of the country’s 議論の的になる核の施設s to 耐える AC/DC's 攻撃する，衝突する song Thunderstruck 繰り返して - and at 十分な容積／容量 - いつかs in the middle of the night.

Of course, there has been no 確定／確認 of the attack from Iran - the 証拠茎・取り除くs from a 一連の e-mails 趣旨ing to be from the 原子の Energy Organisation of Iran.

Affected: The nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz in central Iran has been hit with a worm that affects automated systems... and plays AC/DC's Thunderstruck

影響する／感情d: The 核の濃縮すること工場／植物 at Natanz in central Iran has been 攻撃する，衝突する with a worm that 影響する／感情s 自動化するd systems... and plays AC/DC's Thunderstruck

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inspects the nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz in central Iran

査察小旅行する: Iranian 大統領，／社長 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 検査／視察するs Natanz in 2008. The 施設, seen in an 空中の photo above 権利, has been 繰り返して攻撃する，衝突する by malware

An 無名の Iranian scientist e-mailed Mikko Hypponen, 長，指導者研究 officer for Finnish Internet 安全会社／堅い F-安全な・保証する, 説 that the 施設s at Natanz and Fordo, 近づく Qom, were 攻撃する，衝突する by a worm.

Apart from 無能にするing the 自動化するd 網状組織 at both 場所／位置s, the malware seemed to have an 利益／興味ing 味方する影響 of blaring out AC/DC at any given moment.

When 接触するd by MailOnline, Mr Hypponen 確認するd that he had received the e-mails and that he had been e-mailing the scientist about the 出来事/事件 over the 週末.

He sent a redacted copy of the e-mail, which said: 'I am 令状ing you to 知らせる you that our 核の program has once again been 妥協d and attacked by a new worm with 偉業／利用するs which have shut 負かす／撃墜する our automation 網状組織 at Natanz and another 施設 Fordo 近づく Qom.'

Let there be rock! Angus Young, from Australian rock band AC/DC, who have been inadvertently 'entertaining' Iranian scientists

Another e-mail made 言及／関連 to AC /DC's Thunderstruck 存在 played 'on several workstations in the middle of the night with the 容積／容量 maxed out'.?

It's not the first time that the Iranian 核の programme has been the 的 of malware.

The destructive Stuxnet worm has now 影響する／感情d around 60 per cent of computers in Iran, and is 広範囲にわたって held 責任がある難破させるing the centrifuge at the Nantaz 核の施設.

Iran has 確認するd that work has 停止（させる）d several times at the 施設 because of 'technical 問題／発行するs', and use of the centrifuge has dropped by 30 per cent.

'Another e-mail made 言及／関連 to AC/DC's Thunderstruck 存在 played 'on several workstations in the middle of the night with the 容積／容量 maxed out'?

Stuxnet was thought at first to be the work of Israeli 知能機関 Mossad, but 専門家s have recently turned the finger of 疑惑 to point at the U.S.

Many 専門家s believe that the 未来 of 戦争 will ひどく rely on a nation's ability to 'spike' their enemies' computer 網状組織s.

Recently the Chinese have been 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うd over a 一連の非，不，無-脅すing 出来事/事件s - such as the 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスing of a U.S. 自動化するd sewerage system, or 効果的に taking 命令（する） of two Nasa 衛星s.?

Using music as a 武器 has long been a trait of the US 軍の, in 衝突s 含むing the 侵略 of パナマ in the 1990s.

Thunderstruck, 解放（する）d in 1990, is の中で AC/DC’s most famous songs and said to be 奮起させるd by guitarist Angus Young’s experience of 存在 on a 計画（する） which was struck by 雷.
