Stuxnet = DuQu = Flame as in 'same authors'

Looks like Kaspersky Labs found proof the same group or related groups wrote Stuxnet, DuQu, and Flame. Given their common target and level of sophistication is it any surprise? This story isn't going to go away.

Stuxnet, Duqu, now Flame

If you're anything like me news of Stuxnet and Duqu sent shivers up your spine. These two pieces of malware can only be called "cyber weapons". Sophisticated cyber weapons.

Now comes news of Flame, which a.) is centered in the Middle East especially Iran and b.) appears to be the work of the Stuxnet/Duqu crowd. Here are some of the first reports: #1   #2   #3

This is not good news. Life will never be the same again.
