Saudi Aramco Restores Network After Shamoon Malware Attack

Saudi Aramco announced Sunday that it had restored full network access to PCs after a malware attack. The attack, launched on Aug. 15, infected approximately 30,000 of the organization’s workstations. A self-described activist group, Cutting Sword of Justice, claimed credit for the attack. Security experts have dubbed the malware used in the attack “Shamoon,” and said that it can exfiltrate data from infected systems and erase their hard drives. But at least one of the company’s websites, www.aramco.com, remained offline Monday.”]
