Kaspersky’s networks hacked
Kaspersky Lab has announced that its internal networks were the victim of an advanced attack which attempted to steal information about its products and clients. According to the company’s blog post, the attack was complex and stealthy, exploiting several zero-day vulnerabilities. “We’re quite confident that there’s a nation state behind it,” the blog post said. “We’ve called it Duqu 2.0.” This is due to its similarity to the “Duqu” malware found in 2011, used in attacks against Iran, India, France and Ukraine. Duqu was at the time linked to the Stuxnet malware, believed to be created by the US’ and Israel’s spy agencies.
