Powerful 'Flame' cyberweapon hits Iran's oil industry
May 30th 2012, 08:24

TEHRAN, Iran –  A senior Iranian military official says Iran's oil industry was briefly affected by a powerful computer virus that has unprecedented data-snatching capabilities and can eavesdrop on computer users.

Gholam Reza Jalali, who heads an Iranian military unit in charge of fighting sabotage, said Wednesday that Iranian experts had found and defeated the "Flame" virus.

Jalali told state radio Wednesday that the oil industry was the only governmental body affected and all problems had been resolved.

Iran's government-run Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center has said the Flame virus was focused on expionage.
