Where did the binaries come from? Did Iran release them?
- DANmode 9d agoAre you referring to the government of Iran, or the (possibly Iranian) sec people they handed the flash drives from the parking lot to?
- nirav72 9d agoFrom what I recall reading, stuxnet itself was found in the wild. Even though it was certainly created for a specific target. That’s how security researchers were able to study it fairly quickly. So the binaries were already out there to pull from other infected systems.
- ralphhughes 8d agoCan confirm. I was working in Azerbaijan with people from Iran at the time and had it infect my pendrive and work PC. No anti-virus picked it up at the time.
