[tgell]

Malware discovered at an Iranian oil terminal forced Iran to disconnect key oil facilities on Sunday.
Autorities said an unnamed data-deleting virus prompted them to disconnect the main oil export terminal on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf. The websites of the Iranian oil ministry and the National Iranian Oil firm went dark for two days after the virus first struck on Sunday. The sites were back up on Tuesday.
