Duqu computer virus attacked Iranian business
On November 13, Iran acknowledged for the first time that the country was the target of a new cyberattack when this time, the Duqu computer virus targeted computers of businesses in the Islamic Republic .
Speaking to IRNA, Iranian civilian commander General Gholamreza Jalali said Tehran developed a software to prevent the Duqu virus attacks, while emphasizing that " this virus control software has is developed and provided to organizations and businesses "in Iran.
Mr. Jalali said: " The anti-virus process has been carried out and the organs have been controlled by this virus. "
Earlier this year, Iranian officials confirmed another Stuxnet virus attack aimed at computers of the Bushehr nuclear plant. This computer virus is thought to destroy the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, where the ability to operate centrifuges has doubled in the past year.
Security experts say this is a state-sponsored attack on the Iranian nuclear program and may originate from the US or Israel.
Last month, security software company Symantec warned of a new virus that contained malicious code that "seemed very similar to Stuxnet," called Duqu.
Symantec warned: " Duqu is basically a precursor to a Stuxnet attack in the future ."
