Still remains who was behind that massive cyber attack that's hitting Iran -- -- economy.

Joshua -- from key point government solutions is Kia he knows a thing or two about this stuff don't -- -- -- a little bit yeah hopes up a guy who did it.

Looks to me like it was definitely going to be the Israelis.

Probably with assistance from the United States and there's very few countries that are really have this ability to be able it is is clearly a state -- thing it's not.

It's not something that can be done by amateurs even the most sophisticated -- -- there.

It's not that this takes a team of really hot shot people to do it but at this where they put up -- code and they said it's one point one point.

Five miles of code.

Ever written -- -- that that means that unbelievably complex -- it's usually not even close to something like that.

The Iranians say that they've fixed it that they've they've blocked it told him that.

You whenever you weren't -- -- the idea does that sound a pact that that about it back kind of patch for yelling at.

I think they they will find -- past several satisfy them for the next two weeks and then in the next.

Three months they'll probably noticed something popping up again.

They'll probably noticed that risk being picked up even more in other places.

That is months into the life more easy to affect do we know for a fact do you know for a fact that -- -- computers when messed up because of this flame.

Not -- -- net and it's like absolutely and it's not just their computer system a lot of people are talking about there oil sector it's a lot more than that it's creating a massive paranoia.

Within your entire intelligence apparatus because.

Everybody cell phone is being hacked -- something that's that's right that everybody cell phone's been act is being able to get access to if you have a computer that has Bluetooth capability.

Even if it's not if that computer's been hacked and it's not even connected to your telephone.

If you Bluetooth -- on -- going to be able to read your phones of flame could do this flame can do that -- instantly -- been doing before and Iraq.

Over year over a year and a series vacuum up all this mass of information it still that it may have been toned off.

From Tel Aviv.

And can be -- back on again from Tel Aviv when the ratings least expect I actually think the code is built in such a way much like sucks that actually where they kept thinking that caught stocks that.

Back for the virus for a few years ago.

I actually think that it's designed to make you think that they caught it.

And then it throws in level -- Is and it probably level three this is Martin Wolf and a this is how wars are going to be fought in the future do you think that this is this is some of the most effective ways it can't always be done alone without any any any more military.

You know what you think of its traditional military operations but.

This is definitely the war the future it's -- war by other means two last questions on the -- the best in the wilderness.

The is that the Israelis are some of the best in the world and some -- -- the best -- in terms of designing this they probably.

That probably be invested -- America have anything to do with a I would be shocked if the United States announces -- clients telling it how it is cutting that in I don't need to be wary of my own gossipy chit -- I would be shocked if yes they would be using it against ethnic multi ethnic Jeff -- -- -- they are accept.

I gotta break get off that everybody because this is a big they're just going that was excellent and we appreciate being -- -- you know it's.
