Iran is currently the target of another attack of some of its computer systems by a virus called "Stars", said, Monday, April 25, a senior Iranian military official quoted by the Mehr news agency. This virus enters computers "under color of official records, and he originally produced only limited damage," said General Gholam Reza Jalali, commander of the Iranian civil defense.
Iranian experts are trying to evaluate its goals and its actual capacity for harm. General Jalali gave no other details about the targets of this virus nor its effects, or the terms or the date of its discovery. STUXNET ATTACK IN 2010 Iran was the victim in 2010 of another computer virus called "Stuxnet", apparently intended to disrupt some Iranian nuclear facilities.
Stuxnet has infected more than 30 000 industrial computers, and he notably led to the fall of the immobilizing part of centrifuges producing enriched uranium in the Natanz plant (center), recognized the Iranian authorities. Mr. Jalali was accused on April 16 the United States and Israel of being behind Stuxnet and believes that this virus is still a potential risk.
"Having content Stuxnet virus does not mean that the threat has been completely eliminated, because the viruses have a certain lifespan and may continue their work in turning," he said Monday to Mehr.
