Flame Malware Network
A mysterious malware network has been discovered yesterday on Sunday. Hundreds of computers across the world are infected, and the malware's purpose seems to be to steal documents, such as blueprints and other types of schematics. The infected computers are primarily in the Middle East. There is evidence that the U.S may may be responsible for the Flame network, and that it was created by the same people that made Stuxnet, a virus made to destroy Iranian nuclear refining equipment.
This article was very interesting to me. I have a keen interest in software, and I know how to program, since I've been in the software team on our school's robotic's team. This article was written very well, with some quite a bit of more in-depth technical information.
