概要
Somewhere on a government computer in Tehran a twenty‑megabyte file watched microphones, photographed screens and logged keystrokes for years without triggering a single alarm-its internal module name was FROG.DefaultAttacks.A-InstallFlame, and by spring 2012 roughly one thousand machines had been compromised across the Middle East and beyond. How did an operation roughly twenty times more complex than Stuxnet stay hidden, erase its own traces on command, and keep a rebuilt version running after the world thought it gone?
In this episode, we follow the discovery and technical anatomy of that operation, explaining who reported the problem, how researchers were tasked with a different threat, and what the mapped infections reveal about targets and methods. What did Flame take, who benefited, and why was no one looking in the right place until it was nearly too late?
Person: Kaspersky Lab researchers
Date: April 2012 (discovery reporting and investigation)
Location: Tehran (initial infected government computer)
Event: Discovery while investigating a separate Wiper incident
Case: Approximately 1,000 infected machines mapped by spring 2012
- File size of the main component found on a Tehran government computer: 20 megabytes
- Estimated complexity relative to Stuxnet: roughly 20 times more complex
- Proportion of infections concentrated in Middle Eastern countries: 65%
- Number of command-and-control servers supporting the operation: approximately 80
- Types of data collected and stored in encrypted SQLite databases: screenshots, audio recordings, keystrokes, AutoCAD files and PDFs
