It Looks Like The Devastating New Virus Ripping Through Iran Was A Joint US-Israel Attack

Security researchers have linked the Flame virus to Israel while U.S. computer security experts say that it bears the hallmarks of the National Security Agency (NSA), according to reports from Nicole Perlroth of The New York Times and Robert Windrem of NBC News.

Flame is a massive program that leaves a backdoor (i.e. Trojan) on computers through which it sucks information from networks by actions that include recording keystrokes, capturing screen images, remotely changing settidngs on computers, turning every computer into a listening device, and using Bluetooth to gather data from nearby cell phones and tablets.

The 20 megabyte virus was first discovered over the weekend by Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab after a U.N. telecommunications agency asked it to analyze data on malicious software across the Middle East after Iranian reports of a data-wiping virus, according to Reuters.

The highest concentrations of compromised computers were found in Iran, followed by the Palestinian West Bank, Israel, Sudan, Syria and Lebanon. Additional infections have been reported in Hungary, Austria, Russia, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates.

The Russian cybersecurity firm(Kaspersky lab) needs to keep out of Americas' business!!

I thought that they were our allies against terrorist elements! They are supposed to let the spying and data corruption program run until there is no threat to the US dominance citizens of our great nation!! Aren't they!??

Hmm so I use Kaspersky, Avira is German, AVG is Czech. Damn we might need to re-think our security companies....or wait they do such a good job they detect our own government's BS.

I'm with you in your thought but what do you expect? Its not like a company can just deliver a software package to one country and not another. We are an inter connected WWW afterall!! They report is just like anything else, and why? Because like anything else it can be used against more than one target

I use Kaspersky too. They always are running 100% rebate offers at Newegg.

This is today's Times:

WASHINGTON — From his first months in office, President Obama secretly ordered increasingly sophisticated attacks on the computer systems that run Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facilities, significantly expanding America’s first sustained use of cyberweapons, according to participants in the program.
