Linux-viruses can risk the human lives if they are slipped in the nuclear plants.

The risks of the Linux operating system can danger the national security in physical level. Information security of Linux operating system is the key element when the system delivers will select their operating systems for mission-critical components like firewall servers and other parts of the system, where the key element is the absolute stable action even if the computer virus has been infected the system. Earlier the Linux has been very safe and resistant to computer viruses. The architecture of the Linux is different than Windows, and the viruses could destroy only the databases or data, what is in the same directory than the computer virus is, and that made the Linux very resistant against the computer viruses.


But the problem is that if the virus writer knows the right directory, could this person make the virus, what deletes the kernel of the Linux, or if the programmer can make the file, what makes multiple copies of itself, and then that virus could set itself in the directories, what is filled with the files, what is necessary for example web-store homepages, could the destruction be very devastating. In this scenario, the computer virus deletes only the files of LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)-server or it will remove very many files, what are important for working of that operating system.


The removing the files of the web-store will be enough to stop the work of the business, and the reason putting the virus in somebody's system might be sabotaging the target's business. In the past, the Linux has been seen very safe and stable operating system, but then the Iranian nuclear program has been monitored with the vulnerable program, what was created by the NSA.


The problem is that ultimate surveillance tool was stolen from the laboratories of Fort Meade, and that was shown the thing, that those same programs might use to get information from any computer in the world. And this kind of program is very problematic because there might be stolen very many copies of that code by using PDF-documents or Text documents, what have been copied to the USB-disk, and then those codes can be copied to the C++ editor or whatever the programming language in those programs was.


The program might have many more versions, and some of those versions were meant for destroying the Linux operating system because, in the war, the Russian nuclear missile systems will try to make useless by deleting the operating systems of those warheads and operating consoles. The targets for those data weapons might also be highly computerized and automatized fighters and other tactical equipment.  Also, that computer malware programs can use as the sabotage the nuclear plants because if those laboratories databases and operating systems would be destroyed, the system might even explode.


There is proves that some of that malware programs were meant to modify the calibration of the centrifuges, what separates the plutonium from other material, what comes out from the reactor, and if the centrifuge rolls too fast, it will cause the situation, where the separation process will create too rich plutonium. And that will cause the nuclear explosion in that laboratory. Those computer viruses can be extremely devastating if they will slip in the military nuclear sites like "Pantex" and "Mayak", where they can cause very bad damages because those plants are making the large part of their states nuclear stockpile.
