Iran announced its Bushehr nuclear power plant is safe after a virus was found on the IP addresses of 30,000 computer systems.
The plant’s project manager, Mahmoud Jahfari, told Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency on Sept. 26 that the virus did “no major damage” to the plant’s main systems. He added that personal computers of some plant workers were infected.
The computer worm, dubbed Stuxnet, was found at several industrial plants in Iran and can transfer data to outside networks. A working group was formed to try and find ways to combat the spyware, according to a Sept. 25 report from Iran’s state-run Mehr news agency.
The worm was discovered by German experts in July, and has been used in cyber attacks against several countries including Iran, Indonesia, the United States, and India, according to a press release.
