| [IsraelTimes] One of the most widespread and complex cyber attacks against Iran’s infrastructure was repelled yesterday, the semi-official Tasnim news agency quotes the head of Iran’s Infrastructure Communications Company as saying. “One of the most widespread and complex cyber attacks against the country’s infrastructure was identified and preventive measures were taken,” Behzad Akbari says according to semi-official Tasnim news agency, without giving more detail. In recent years, Iran has seen a series of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, including its ports. Surveillance cameras in government buildings, including prisons, have also been hacked in the past. The country disconnected much of its government infrastructure from the internet after the Stuxnet computer virus — widely believed to be a joint US-Israeli creation — disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges in the country’s nuclear sites in the late 2000s. |

| #1 I swear that Stuxnet led to an attack on a service center in the Sudan. However, the only thing I can find is: "Security vendor Kaspersky Lab has identified infections with the new Duqu malware in Sudan and, more importantly, Iran, the main target of the Trojan’s predecessor — Stuxnet. Duqu took the security industry by storm last week when the Hungarian research laboratory Crysys shared its analysis of the new threat with the world’s top antivirus vendors. Believed to be closely related to the Stuxnet industrial sabotage worm, from which it borrows code and functionality, Duqu is a flexible malware delivery framework used for data exfiltration. |
