LONDON (AP) — A new computer virus tied to some of the most sophisticated cyberweapons thus-far discovered has been found circulating in the Middle East, a Moscow-based computer security company said Thursday. If a link were confirmed, the find would expand the electronic arsenal reportedly deployed by the U.S. and Israel against their rivals in the region.
Kaspersky Lab ZAO said in a statement that the new virus, dubbed “Gauss,” was aimed at stealing financial information from customers of a series of Lebanese banks.
