Just to keep the info loop going, it seems that this is something different, not from hackers and intelligence purposes.

It has been around for about 1-2 years apparently but the detection has seemingly been more recent.
Quote:
Kaspersky has so far identified seven countries that have been affected by Flame attacks:
Iran (189 infections)
Israel and Palestine (98 targets)
Sudan (32 targets)
Syria (30 targets)
Lebanon (18 targets)
Saudi Arabia (10 targets)
Egypt (5 targets)
The Hungarian experts found that the worm, which they traced under the filename wavesup3.drv, was active in several European countries, including Hungary, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
Variety of targets
So far, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to the types of targets attacked. Individuals, educational institutions and state-related organizations have all been hit, Gostev said.
