Alexander high Gostev, Kaspersky's chief security expert, said he believes that as a "second wave" of attacks, flame or other virus called Gaussian MiniFlame, and has hit the target system.
"MiniFlame is a highly sophisticated attack tools, Gostev said after data collection [by flames and review, the definition of a potential victim and determine and MiniFlame installed, in order to conduct a more in-depth monitoring and network Spy. "
Announcement weeks after Kasperky, U.S. officials have said they suspect Iran has a hand in the big Western financial institutions, but relatively simple hacker network attacks.
