Saudi Arabia says cyber attack aimed to disrupt oil, gas flow

Saudi Arabia's national oil company, Aramco, said on Sunday a cyber attack against it in August which damaged some 30,000 computers was aimed at stopping oil and gas production at the biggest OPEC exporter. The attack on Saudi Aramco - which supplies a tenth of the world's oil - failed to disrupt production, but was one of the most destructive cyber strikes conducted against a single business. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/09/saudi-attack-idUSL5E8N91UE20121209
