The publication, which in the wake of Glenn Greenwald's departure from The
Guardian continued to publish documents leaked by Edward Snowden, said on
Monday the recently discovered malware, known as Regin, was used against
targets in the European Union.
One of those targets included Belgian telecommunications company Belgacom,
which had its networks broken into by the British spy agency the Government
Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
Regin was first publicly talked about over the weekend after Symantec
discovered the "sophisticated" malware, though is understood to have been in
circulation since 2008.
Compared to Stuxnet, the state-sponsored malware whose creators have never
been confirmed, the recently-discovered trojan steals data from machines and
networks it infects, disguised as Microsoft software.
Some began to point the finger at Russia and China, but these were quickly
discounted by industry experts. Others suspected the U.S. and Israel — a
deal already exists that allows the Middle Eastern allied state to access
raw and "unchecked" U.S. collected intelligence. |
