Wired has an article with a great deal more information on this here: http://www.wired.com/2015/06/kaspersky-finds-new-nation-state-attack-network/ it will give you a much different take on this information. Kaspersky themselves were infected, and they don’t seem to know for how long.

Virus fallout. That is one of the side effects of such uses. Stuxnet hit computers all over the world. Anyone liable for that one?

[Woodman]

Thing is, it looks like Kaspersky was intentionally targeted. The Hotel thing is interesting, but Kaspersky had some juicy info available for the hackers. They still don’t know what they may have had compromised.

[Theoria]

Very impressive stuff. And probably not even ‘offensive’ use. Dunno what their shutdown stuff is. ouch

Yes indeed I do! Thank you for the ping.

Makes me proud to be Jewish. If we have to suffer some sort of bigoted stereotype, let it be that we’re smart, tough people that you f*** with at your own risk.
