Flame: Massive cyber-attack discovered, researchers say
A complex targeted cyber-attack that collected private data from countries such as Israel and
Iran has been uncovered, researchers have said. Russian security firm Kaspersky Labs told the BBC
they believed the malware, known as Flame, had been operating since August 2010. The company said it believed the attack was state-
sponsored, but could not be sure of its exact origins. They described Flame as “one of the most complex
threats ever discovered”. Research into the attack was carried out in
conjunction with the UN’s international Telecommunication Union.
