The International Space Station has been accidentally infected by a Russian cosmonaut by the infamous Stuxnet computer virus via USB stick. Eugene Kaspersky, a Russian security expert known for the Kaspersky antivirus program, said that the Stuxnet virus infected a nuclear power plant in Russia "badly damaging their internal infrastructure as well as the International Space Station (ISS). Details are little on how badly the virus affected the ISS operations. Seriously how can somebody even do that?? Shouldn't these astronauts know better since they do have security clearances for this.
The stuxnet virus was alledgedly jointly created by the US and Israeli military forces to seriously damage Irans ongoing nuclear program. Come on smart people how can you infect a space station with some malware, Do you not practice information systems security??? I think we should go clear the virus out for them because they apparently don't know what they are doing unless it was intentionally put there.
