Mystery malware wreaks havoc on energy sector computers. Malware researchers have uncovered an attack targeting an organization in the energy industry that attempts to wreak havoc by permanently wiping data from an infected computer's hard drive and rendering the machine unusable.

Mystery malware wreaks havoc on energy sector computers

The computer worm, alternately dubbed Shamoon or Disttrack by researchers at rival antivirus providers Symantec and McAfee, contains the string "wiper" in the Windows file directory its developers used while compiling it. Combined with word that it targeted the energy industry, that revelation immediately evoked memories of malware also known as Wiper that reportedly attacked Iran's oil ministry in April and ultimately led to the discovery of the state-sponsored Flame malware. In a blog post published Thursday, researchers from Russia-based Kaspersky Lab said the file and service names in the original Wiper aren't present in Shamoon.

Aramco Says Virus Attacks Network, Oil Output Unaffected

The parts of the network linked to oil production weren’t affected and its systems will resume full operations soon, the producer known as Saudi Aramco said in a statement, without being more specific. The virus entered the network through personal computers, according to the statement. “In a market that is starting to focus more on geopolitical issues in the Middle East, the deepening of the idea that there may be parties intending electronic sabotage against oil operations is likely to be unsettling one,” Miswin Mahesh, an analyst at Barclays Plc, wrote today in a report. Oil and nuclear facilities in Iran have previously been subject to a succession of cyber attacks including the Stuxnet worm last year and a virus dubbed Flame in May. Schlumberger Ltd. Blogging platform hacked, false Saudi blog posted.

DUBAI Wed Aug 15, 2012 4:31pm BST DUBAI (Reuters) - The blogging platform of the Reuters News website was hacked and a false posting saying Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal had died was illegally posted on a Reuters journalist's blog, the company said on Wednesday.

"Reuters did not report the false story and the post was immediately deleted. We are working to address the problem," Barb Burg, director of global communications at Reuters News, said in a statement. Reuters had no immediate information on who was behind the hacking, the second time this month that the blogging platform of Reuters.com has been compromised. On August 3, Reuters was forced to shut the platform temporarily after the appearance of unauthorised, and false, reports citing military reverses for rebels in Syria. Global chiefs of protocol are meeting to prevent future breaches of diplomatic etiquette. Do such gaffes matter?

These 253 mph supercars are rare enough at the best of times, but this one is unique: known as L’Or Blanc, or White Gold, its exterior is inlaid with porcelain, giving it the appearance of a highly polished humbug.

Nauru seeks to regain lost fortunes

One of the very few is Nauru, a Pacific island nation halfway between Australia and Hawaii. Dubbed Pleasant Island in the 18th Century by the captain of a passing British ship - it is the world's smallest independent republic, a coral speck dwarfed by the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. On most assignments, one of the first tasks is to hire a car. On Nauru, it didn't really seem worth the bother, I opted instead for a battered mountain bike. It took me about an hour and a half to cycle the narrow coast road, sweating profusely beneath the fierce equatorial sun.
