Self-Propagating Malware Poisons Open Source Software, Wipes Iran-Based Machines

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: A new hacking group has been rampaging the Internet in a persistent campaign that spreads a self-propagating and never-before-seen backdoor -- and curiously a data wiper that targets Iranian machines.
