SELinux was the only way the US government could reach the linux kernel and implement a obfuscated backdoor worldwide. What is a difference between a bug or backdoor, from inside the source code they are the same.

I see a lot people talking about their lack nowadays, yes its a huge cultural problem, but think outside it, if you are Israel you won't care if some uneducated, powerless, commonsense lacked people would think about your country nefarious intentions. So this leave us to this point: every people who read news know Israel is whining and crying about Iran nuclear "ambitions" (what is an utter hypocrisy since Israel itself has nukes) - people who support Israel and their agenda won't care if Israel made this virus, they would applaud - if Israel wanted the other kind of educated people (those who don't buy their agenda and aren't largely influenced my media) to not think this is a Zionist movement of war going on they would really puts those clues into the code, so when or if some experienced western researched publish to world those "clues" people like you would say:

Technical analysis aside, all these Israel claims are based on huge assumptions and zero concrete evidence. Even if Israel did create this virus why would they put references in the code that led back to them?

(why would they? duh right?), no offense just my thoughts.

Iran the most affected country with 60% of infections, a highly sophisticated worm that resembles warfare espionage. NSA or CIA don't even need a backdoor in windows, just some obscure vulnerability, if it goes public ms maybe forced to patch.
