I-malware ye-Flame yayibhekwa njengefile ngemuva kokutholwa yi-Kaspersky Lab ngo-2012. Igciwane elishiwo liwuhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi lwamathuluzi aklanyelwe ukwenza imisebenzi yobunhloli esikalini sikazwelonke. Ngemuva kokuvezwa komphakathi, opharetha beFlame bazame ukuvala amathrekhi abo ngokucekela phansi iminonjana yaleli gciwane kumakhompyutha anegciwane, iningi lawo elalitholakala eMpumalanga Ephakathi naseNyakatho Afrika.
Manje, ochwepheshe beChronicle Security, eyingxenye ye-Alphabet, bathole iminonjana yenguqulo eguquliwe ye-Flame. Kucatshangwa ukuthi iTrojan ibisetshenziswa abahlaseli kusukela ngo-2014 kuya ku-2016. Abacwaningi bathi abahlaseli abazange balubhubhise uhlelo olunonya, kodwa baluklame kabusha, balwenza luyinkimbinkimbi futhi lungabonakali ezinyathelweni zokuphepha.
Ochwepheshe baphinde bathola imikhondo ye-malware eyinkimbinkimbi ye-Stuxnet, eyasetshenziswa ukucekela phansi uhlelo lwenuzi lwase-Iran ngo-2007. Ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi i-Stuxnet ne-Flame inezici ezifanayo, ezingase zibonise umsuka wezinhlelo zeThrojani. Ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi iFlame yathuthukiswa kwa-Israel nase-United States, nokuthi uhlelo olungayilungele ikhompuyutha ngokwalo lwalusetshenziselwa imisebenzi yobunhloli. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ngesikhathi sokutholwa, igciwane le-Flame laliyisiteji sokuqala se-modular, izingxenye zazo ezingashintshwa kuye ngokuthi izici zesistimu ehlaselwe.
Abacwaningi manje sebenamathuluzi amasha ezandleni zabo okubasiza ukuthi babheke iminonjana yokuhlasela okudlule, okubavumela ukuba bakhanyisele okunye kwakho. Ngenxa yalokho, kwakungenzeka ukuthola amafayela ahlanganiswe ekuqaleni kuka-2014, cishe unyaka nesigamu ngemva kokuchayeka kweFlame. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi, azikho izinhlelo zokulwa namagciwane ezazihlonza lawa mafayela njenganonya. Uhlelo lwe-Trojan lwe-modular lunemisebenzi eminingi oluvumela ukuthi luqhube imisebenzi yobunhloli. Isibonelo, ingavula imakrofoni kudivayisi ethelelekile ukuze irekhode izingxoxo ezenzeka eduze.
Ngeshwa, abacwaningi abakwazanga ukuvula amandla aphelele e-Flame 2.0, inguqulo ebuyekeziwe yohlelo oluyingozi lweThrojani. Ukuyivikela, ukubethela kwasetshenziswa, okwakungavumeli ochwepheshe ukuba bafunde izingxenye ngokuningiliziwe. Ngakho-ke, umbuzo wamathuba nezindlela zokusatshalaliswa kweFlame 2.0 uhlala uvulekile.
