I wonder how they know it’s been there for at least five years?
I have a friend of mine who I now think is smarter and and smarter as time goes by. He has at least one computer that has NEVER been connected to a network. He calls it his baseline. And has saved his butt a couple of times after his other computers were infected by viruses.

What kind of data is it stealing?

Probably just Zero’s people disclosing an Israeli intelligence gathering program.

"Flame can gather data files, remotely change settings on computers, turn on PC microphones to record conversations, take screen shots and log instant messaging chats."

I miss those *adjustable* Bic Lighters. I’d let it sit in direct sun for a few minutes, heat-up and open it up to full-blast, and get a brief 4-5” flame. Good for ‘frying ticks’ in the ashtray. LOL.

Dang! That nasty virus stuff written with Cobol, Fortran, RPG, dBase, or Pascal can really create havoc... /s

Like I don’t have enough to worry about with Obama flying drones over my house....geez.
Glad I never got rid of my tin foil hat, sounds like I’m going to need it.

Given the target locations, I’d have to agree with you. Pres. Obama probably rationalized it as a sign of friendship that would calm our enemies.

THere go those Israeli AMISH again. Pesky little fellows. I wonder how much information they have stolen over the years, and what other surprises for the jihadists and slavers they have put out there.
Remind me to renew my Symantec protection agreement.

The Moscow-based company is controlled by Russian malware researcher Eugene Kaspersky, and gained notoriety in cyber weapons research after solving several mysteries surrounding Stuxnet and Duqu... Strange feeling for cold war babies...
