The Equation Group's attack on hard-drive firmware is one of the most advanced ever discovered, Kaspersky Lab said.

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.

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!

La NSA ne dévoile pas toujours les failles qu'elle découvre. Il aurait fallu être naïf pour croire le contraire, et de nombreux indices et révélations vont dans ce sens depuis des années. 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.

Die großflächige Überwachung des Internets durch Geheimdienste hat viele Netznutzer aufgeschreckt. Manch einer sucht nun nach Wegen, sich ein Stück Privatsphäre zurückzuholen – diskrete Suchmaschinen wie DuckDuckGo oderIxquick, die Nutzerdaten weder speichern noch vermarkten, verzeichnen stark gestiegene Zugriffszahlen. Die Ixquick-Macher wollen dieses Modell bald auch auf den E-Mail-Verkehr ausdehnen.

Eine Frage der Zeit wann die sich AUCH beugen müssen!!!

"The Americans justify everything with combatting terrorism," said the Luxembourg foreign minister, Jean Asselborn, who on Sunday described the latest allegations as disgusting. "The EU and its diplomats are not terrorists."

Documents seen by the German newspaper Spiegel suggest that not only were

===> bugs installed in the EU's offices in Washington <===,

but also that the building's computer network was infiltrated.

THIS is going TOO FAR!!!
