Shamoon or Disttrack is part of a family of destructive programs known as disk wipers. It wiped data from 30,000 computers at Saudi Arabia’s national oil company in 2012. Similar tools were used in 2014 against Sony Pictures Entertainment in the U.S. and in 2013 against several banks and broadcasting organizations in South Korea. Researchers from Symantec and Palo Alto Networks found a new version of Shamoon that had been used in a fresh wave of attacks against targets in Saudi Arabia.”]
