A cyberespionage group with a toolset similar to ones used by U.S. intelligence agencies has infiltrated key institutions in countries including Iran and Russia, utilizing a startlingly advanced form of malware that is impossible to remove once it's infected your PC.

Kaspersky Lab released a report Monday that said the tools were created by the “Equation” group, which it stopped short of linking to the U.S. National Security Agency

The tools, exploits and malware used by the group—named after its penchant for encryption—have strong similarities with NSA techniques described in top-secret documents leaked in 2013.

Gust MEES's insight:

Either way, there are now signatures available to detect exploits against Heartbleed, as Dutch security firm Fox-IT points out on its website, and depending on how much logging companies do with their intrusion-detection systems, it may be possible to review activity retroactively to uncover any attacks going back over the last two years.

So might hear in a couple of months more then, probably!

Affaire d'Etat, le scandale PRISM révélé par Edward Snowden prend aujourd'hui une tournure juridique. Le Figaro nous apprend en effet que la Fédération internationale des Ligues des droits de l'homme a porté plainte contre X ce jeudi au tribunal de grande instance de de Paris.

Les griefs sont lourds : accès et maintien frauduleux dans tout ou partie d'un système de traitement automatisé de données, collecte de données à caractère personnel par un moyen frauduleux, déloyal ou illicite, atteinte volontaire à l'intimité de la vie privée d'autrui, utilisation et la conservation d'enregistrements et de documents obtenus par le moyen d'une atteinte à l'intimité de la vie privée d'autrui et atteinte au secret des correspondances électroniques.

La Fédération entend connaître l'implication exacte des géants américains du Web comme Facebook ou Google dans l'espionnage généralisé mis en place par la NSA.

Cela dit, que la Maison blanche l'admette et se fende d'un billet de blog pour détailler les procédures menant à la divulgation ou à la rétention de failles, c'est nouveau.
