Meet “miniFlame” Virus - Flame’s Smaller,
More Dangerous Brother
It appears that the Flame malware that was discovered
earlier in 2012 was just the beginning of a malware
assault wave. Later on in the same year, a related program
called “miniFlame“ was discovered. miniFlame carried
out more precise attacks on targets in the Middle East
and included a back door which allowed for remote
control, data theft, and the ability to take screen shots.
