A new version of an old virus is infecting computers in Iran and around the Middle East.

Y-Net News reports the new cyber-espionage virus is linked to the Flame virus from this summer.

Flame was said to be the work of the United States and Israel. It was developed as a massive spy operation meant to hurt Iran's nuclear program.

The new virus has been dubbed "Mini-Flame" but unlike it's predecessor, experts sat it's more targeted.

It can be considered a second wave of cyber-espionage attack.
