Iran shouldn’t panic over the newly discovered Trojan, says anti-virus pioneer Zvi Netiv
Iranians, West
Bankers, and Israelis can all calm down. The much-hyped Flame Trojan
isn’t all that, according to Zvi Netiv, one of the world’s pioneers of
the anti-virus business.
“The capabilities that are being attributed to
Flame are clearly way overblown. There is nothing in Flame that we
haven’t seen for at least ten years,” said Netiv, who has seen viruses, Trojans, and worms come and go since 1991, when his company, NetZ Computing, came up with the world’s first comprehensive virus protection program.
That’s a radical position, considering
comments made by Eugene Kaspersky, who heads Kaspersky Labs, which
captured Flame and has begun analyzing it. In a press release announcing
the trojan, Kaspersky said that “the
Flame malware looks to be another phase in the war” to take control of
networks and computer systems, “making it one of the most advanced and
complete attack-toolkits ever discovered.”
