Flame, Stuxnet viruses show 'cooperation' MOSCOW, June 11 (UPI)
-- Teams creating the Stuxnet and Flame viruses worked together
and both programs may have been the work of the U.S. government,
Russian security researchers say. Experts at Kaspersky Lab, a
Russian company that first identified the Flame virus, said
source code was shared between the teams making the malware
attacks. Both Flame, discovered last month, and Stuxnet,
revealed in 2010, attacked targets in Iran. "What we have found
is very strong evidence that Stuxnet/Duqu and Flame cyber-
weapons are connected," said Alexander Gostev, chief security
expert at Kaspersky. "The new findings that reveal how the teams
shared source code of at least one module in the early stages of
development prove that the groups co-operated at least once." An
investigation by The New York Times has pointed to the United
States as being responsible for Stuxnet, developed in
cooperation with Israel to cause disruption in Iranian nuclear
facilities. No definitive evidence
