Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have come across a new and sophisticated piece of malware that can be used for both cyber espionage and wiping an infected computer’s storage.

Dubbed “StoneDrill,” the malware has been linked to the notorious Shamoon 2 and Charming Kitten, aka Newscaster and NewsBeef, a threat actor believed to be located in Iran.

The security firm has observed the threat being used in attacks aimed at entities in Saudi Arabia and one organization in Europe.
