Yeah, but come on, everyone knows how counterproductive this is.

Flame and Stuxnet have been rumored to have been US/Israeli sponsored for a while; the confirmation is no real surprise.

What surprises me is how stupid this shit is. I mean seriously? If I knew the US was using crypto warfare leveraging the spreading properties of a virus, I would hope that it would be nearly impossible to tie back to us. I mean that's just fucking common sense.

I mean really, at the end of the day, what did this achieve? I'd say it probably just gave every crypto nerd in China, Japan, India and Russia an infinite budget.
