The Kaspersky Lab has discovered a cyber-spying campaign that targets governmental bodies, political groups and research institutions. Geographically the interests of the so-called Red October campaign spread from Switzerland and the US to Uganda and Pakistan.
"In particular we have discovered more than 1,000 files that were created especially for certain organizations or goals. This requires a group of developers. We also have found more than 60 different domain names and servers located in Germany and Russia."
"It is most likely that the campaign was masterminded by a large organization that has enough recourses but does not have its own full-fledged intelligence service. We should not rule out that some of the data obtained via this campaign could be published on Julian Assange’s Wiki Leaks."
