Computer Virus Briefly Hits Iran’s Oil Industry

 

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.
