CIA false flag team repurposed Shamoon data wiper, other malware

U.S. Central Intelligence Agency team specializes in reusing bits of code and techniques from public malware samples.

It maintains a library of techniques borrowed from in-the-wild malware that could be integrated into its own projects.
