Malware di stato ?

A leading computer security company says it has discovered one of the most sophisticated pieces of malicious software ever seen.

Symantec says the bug, named Regin, was probably created by a government and has been used for six years against a range of targets around the world.

Once installed on a computer, it can do things like capture screenshots, steal passwords or recover deleted files.

Experts say computers in Russia, Saudi Arabia and Ireland have been hit most.

It has been used to spy on government organisations, businesses and private individuals, they say.

Researchers say the sophistication of the software indicates that it is a cyber-espionage tool developed by a nation state.

Senza scomodare Stuxnet o Duqu, cose come FinFisher (prodotto da una ditta tedesca) sono state vendute a vari Stati per sorvegliare persone senza un mandato di un giudice.

Oramai il "malware di Stato" e' qui per restare.
