Malware Found In Iran Petro Plants

Virus not linked to recent fires in oil and gas facilities across the country, says official.

A malicious but inactive industrial malware was recently detected and removed from two of Iran’s petrochemical plants during a routine inspection, reports Reuters quoting state news agency IRNA.
