The report states that there have been multiple probable malware attacks against Israeli and Palestinian targets for at least a year. The attacks are likely performed by the same attacker, as the malware communicates with the same command- and control structures and is signed using the same digital certificate. The purpose of the attacks is assumed to be espionage/surveillance. The initial reported malware file was "IDF strikes militants in Gaza Strip following rocket barrage.doc----------------------------------------------.scr" and was an executable file with a document icon and a long name making it difficult to spot the *.scr extension.
