It was Trojan malware that prompted Israeli bombing on Syria in 2007

 According to the latest reports the attack performed by Israel on the al-Kabir site in Syria's eastern desert on September 6, 2007 was based on the data obtained in the course of Trojan attack.

The reports say that Israeli spies got details of a Syrian nuclear facility by sending a Trojan Horse to an official when he was staying at a luxurious Kensington hotel. According to the German magazine Der Spiegel the malware stole the details about Syrian nuclear program and sent them directly to the Mossad agents' computers.

Using this information Israel initiated an airborne bombing raid that is believed to have knocked Syria’s nearly-completed nuclear reactor that intelligence agencies said was being built with North Korean help.
