Considering such a drastic move, Ahmadinejad can't be too amused by this; Iran's nuclear facilities have allegedly been infiltrated and hacked, causing all nuclear power stations in the area to play-at full volume- AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" at top volume.
Back in 2010, the systems that ran nuclear facilities in Iran where also cyber-attacked by a specific malware named Stuxnet, which was previously developed by the US and Israel. Their mission, named "Olympic games," initiated with the Bush administration than was later carried on by Obama.
The first person to notice this attack was Finnish computer securities chief research officer, Mikko Hypponen, who said he received emails from a nuclear scientist based in the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran:
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.
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.
Hypponen later said that he cannot confirm this all happened, but he was able to write, "We can confirm the scientist sending the emails was [in fact] sending and receiving emails from within the AEOI.
