Submission + - Iran photo gaffe reveals Stuxnet perfect match (scmagazine.com.au)

mask.of.sanity writes: Photographs of computer screens within Iran's Natanz nuclear facility have revealed Stuxnet was a perfect match to the systems it crippled.

The revelations stemmed from a seemingly benign photograph of Iranian President 's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's tour of the facility captured as a PR stunt and posted on website.

But the photo, still live on the site, captured a string of neon green lights on a SCADA controller that to the trained eye revealed secretive information on the plant's schematics.

Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands 1855

Reader Tom Hudson, and now several others, have submitted the news that Osama Bin Laden is reportedly dead, and that his body is in the hands of the US military. A statement from President Obama is expected shortly. Watch this space for more details. Update: 05/02 04:01 GMT by T : More coverage at ABC News, at CNN, and at Al Jazeera. The reports say that Bin Laden was actually killed about a week ago by a bomb in Pakistan, and the time taken to confirm his identity via DNA testing helped delay the news. In downtown Austin, Texas, in the time since the story broke I've heard what sound like numerous celebratory gunshots.
