A computer virus running since August 2010 and reported to be the most complex in history, was discovered in thousands of computers throughout the Middle East.
The virus, named as “The Flame” was discovered by the Russian security software group Kaspersky, and primarily targeted Iran but also Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Palestine and some reported cases in Egypt.
The virus is considered to be a state sponsored cyber attack which aims to collect private data, alongside taking screen shots and keyboard inputs from secure government databases and private computers. more
