Computer systems in Iran were allegedly attacked on Monday by a malware that forced workstations “to play AC/DC’s Thunderstruck at full volume in the middle of the night,” the International Business Times reports.

We don’t care what anyone says, that’s pretty much the most awesome act of international
sabotage we’ve ever heard of.

Lead researcher at the Finnish computer security firm F-Secure Mikko Hypponen wrote on his blog that a colleague working at the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran
(AEOI) sent him an e-mail informing him that the system had come under cyber-attack.

“I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordo near Qom,” reads the email.
