Submission + - Iran hit by computer virus more violent than Stuxnet (timesofisrael.com)

Submitted by TTL0
TTL0 writes: Israel’s Hadashot news is reporting that Iranian infrastructure and strategic networks have come under attack in the last few days by a computer virus similar to Stuxnet but more violent, more advanced and more sophisticated.

"Remember Stuxnet, the virus that penetrated the computers of the Iranian nuclear industry?” the report on Israel’s Hadashot news asked. Iran “has admitted in the past few days that it is again facing a similar attack, from a more violent, more advanced and more sophisticated virus than before, that has hit infrastructure and strategic networks.”

The Iranians, the TV report went on, are “not admitting, of course, how much damage has been caused.”
