Flame code found in Stuxnet virus
- Middle East: Wednesday, June 13 - 2012 at 11:49
Eugene Kaspersky, the chief executive of Kaspersky Lab, which uncovered Flame last month, has said his researchers have since found that part of the Flame programme code is nearly identical to code found in a 2009 version of Stuxnet, Reuters has reported. Flame is the most complex computer spying programme discovered so far, and appeared to be aimed at government and energy-industry offices in Iran, Israel, the Palestinian territories and Sudan. Both viruses infected machines by taking advantage of a Windows flaw to launch the "autorun" feature.
