"According to most threat researchers today, only governments have the necessary resources to design and implement a virus of such complexity," says Lovet of Flame and similar types of cyberespionage attacks.
Flame mostly targeted computers in the Middle East. Analysis conducted in 2012 of servers used to control the Flame malware found several other related types of malware existed, including a direct connection to Stuxnet.
