According to Gawker, scientists at Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization have been complaining of a computer virus which has compromised their network. Such cyber attacks are not uncommon, but there was something about this one that made it extra special.

In an email to an employee at the Finnish security firm, F-Secure, the scientists claim that the virus was forcing their computers to play loud music in the middle of the night at the max volume.

“I believe it was playing ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC,” said the scientist in the email. You have to give these hackers points for creativity, right? “Thunderstuck” makes perfect sense in that situation.

If this was a movie scene about a massive virus ruining an entire nuclear powerplant’s network, “Thunderstruck” would definitely be the song playing in the background, wouldn’t it?

What song would you have chosen for this bizarre scheme? Let us know in the comments section!
