The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team has issued a warning today about the Regin malware that, according to reports last month, was created by our government. :confused:

Regin is a multi-staged, modular threat—meaning it has a number of components, each dependent on others to perform an attack. Each of the five stages is hidden and encrypted, with the exception of the first stage. The modular design poses difficulties to analysis, as all components must be available in order to fully understand the Trojan.
 
IIRC, isn't illegal to create and distribute these thing?

*That OK, we're from the government and we're here to help(do as we please). :rolleyes:
 
He was joking about it coming from the US Government, that report didn't say that. It said the complexity and level of effort used to create and maintain the malware suggested that it was a tool created and used by a nation state. It doesn't suggest which one.

Actually he was not jokeing, Look at the report from Kaspersky and Symantec again, look where the malware is NOT.

It's prolly better to wait until the right people dissect it and figure out how it works before jumping to conclusions. I'm totally betting on those mean people in Laos being behind it though. The Laos-n-eze are always up to something.
 
US Govt. racist much. What does 'reggin' spell backwards?

Seeing phantom racism? Need to step away from the echo chambers dude.

Since there's no official disclosure assuming it was the US gov't. The name came from the malware researchers.

It's also a real word.

Setting aside its only presumptions that its the US gov't, it was named by malware researchers and you're seeing what you want/programmed to see. Take a pill.
