Report: Developers of Flame Created Three Other Viruses
Moscow-based antivirus company Kaspersky Lab found that the developers of the Flame malware have also developed at least four viruses in total, NextGov reports.
Although the purpose of the others are still unknown, Kasperksy said one of the other malwares directs infected computers “out to a sinkhole.”
Kaspersky Lab also found “further clues of the increasingly aggressive and broadening push by state-sponsored entities to deploy computer viruses on foreign networks, highlighting how the digital domain has grown increasingly militarized.”
Flame is an espionage malware that targeted Iran and other Middle Eastern companies.
