Finland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs networks hit by sophisticated Malware attack

Finnish commercial broadcaster MTV3 reports that the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affair networks has been targeted in a four-year-long cyber espionage operation. The breach was uncovered during the early part of this year, but from a foreign tip-off reported to CERTFI. Experts say Red October’s exploits appear to have Chinese origins, whereas the malware modules may have a Russian background. Russia and China are suspected of responsibility for the snooping. The Finnish Security Intelligence Service is investigating the matter.
