Iran's nuclear program has been Thunderstruck
There may be yet another worm that's hit Iran's nuclear agency. This one takes over computers and causes them to play the song Thunderstruck (Hat Tip: Drew G).Well if it weren't the Nine Days, I'd turn on my sound and see if I could figure out why Thunderstruck is such an appropriate song for this. Heh.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.I'm not sure what to think about this. We can't confirm any of the details. However, we can confirm that the researcher was sending and receiving emails from within the AEOI.
According to the email our cyber experts sent to our teams, they believe a hacker tool Metasploit was used. The hackers had access to our VPN. The automation network and Siemens hardware were attacked and shut down. I only know very little about these cyber issues as I am scientist not a computer expert.
There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out. I believe it was playing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC.

Oh yeah! Texas called out by name! Don't mess with Texas!
I noticed something about the lyrics. The singer is shakin' at the knees, and yet the listener is the one who's been thunderstruck. A possible interpretation is that the Israeli knees are "shaking", in reference to the line from the prayer Aleinu: "v'anachnu korim umishtachavim umodim". Perhaps Jerusalem finally understands that only be placing our faith in Hashem can we hope to vanquish our enemies. We are shaking at our knees, and thus they will be thunderstruck.
