Flame and its relationship to wiper and shamoon
Our opinion, based on researching several systems attacked by the original Wiper, is that it is not. The original ?Wiper was using certain service names (?RAHD...) together with specific filenames for its drivers (?%temp%\~dxxx.tmp) which do not appear to be present in this malware. Additionally, the original Wiper was using a certain pattern to wipe disks which again is not used by this malware.
It is more likely that this is a copycat, the work of a script kiddies inspired by the story. Nowadays, destructive malware is rare; the main focus of cybercriminals is financial profit. Cases like the one here do not appear very often.
